(...) Communication with the RCX looks fine, but the RCX is refusing to change the program. This is exactly what would happen if no firmware was loaded. Are you sure you have firmware installed? With firmware, the display will look like this "00.00 (...) (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Ooh, good point. I was assuming that the programs he was running were programs for the robot with which he was testing, and that he could tell that they were the right ones. Not a very good assumption, actually. (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The RCX has, by ROM Firmware, 5 factory entered programs. In all 5 slots. The easy way to tell if there is firmware installed is when you turn it on you see 00.00| |= little man.

(...) That's my current plan. I tried the normal way and it lost the file name, the current dir, everything. It has become VERY frustrating... But I should have it soon. I'll be offering it free on our site. I'll post when it's done. Dean -- (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Ordinary electric lightbulb. Nothing too bright or too dark. I might try moving the tower and brick under a chair when I get in from work tonight and see if that makes a difference.

(...) It should! It certainly did last time I used it but I wasn't sure whether being without batteries would cause the firmware to need reloading. It certainly powers on and runs programs in all slots which suggested to me that the firmware was (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Could you copy the entire contents to the clipboard, then have your program write the clipboard data to a temp file? (you'd still avoing having to create pipes, etc) Dave Baum (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Yes, that would be the easiest way but also the most annoying as it forces me to change the file name on the users editor. I'm looking in to a DDE command way to avoid this, but so far without success. Thanks for your help btw. Dean -- (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
