Hi; I'm using RCX1.0 on linux (kernel 2.2.16; SuSE 7.0), nqc-version 2.0.2 and I have troubles with downloading the firmware under linux. I always have to change to Win98 and then the download works fine. On Linux I say at the prompt: nqc -firmware (...) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Tim Webber pointed out to me that I must set the path to nqc.exe in the preferences. All is well now, thanks to Tim. -- Bob Fay California, USA rfay@we.mediaone.net (URL) (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

The serial ports weren't changed in a major way (still RS-422, etc), but there could have been subtle changes to the driver/receiver that would cause problems when hooked to marginal RS-232 devices (such as the IR tower).

(...) One thing to keep in mind about Mac serial ports is that they are not RS-232, rather they are RS-422. IIRC, RS-232 is a singled-ended voltage standard (ref to ground only), where RS-422 is a differential standard. The 'common' method of using (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi all, I having trouble connecting a PowerMac G3 (beige model, 233MHz) to the IR tower. I've tried NQC, MacNQC but keep getting "Error: no response from IR tower". I've also tried ZTerm to see if I can get an echo back. The Green LED in the tower (...) (24 years ago, 1-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

All, I was wondering if there is anyway to put the RCX into basically a stand-by power saving mode and have it wake up when sent a command through the IR, basically "Wake on IR".
