i just purchased the mindstorm RIS set... now i am trying to get
the firmware on it. i dont have windows (thank god), so i am
trying to get the firmware onto the rcx with ncq.
upon trying to do anything with rcx (rcx -near, rcx -firmware..) i am
getting "No reply from RCX". i have the tower sitting about 6 inches
from the rcx.
a red led is going on inside the tower when i send commands, so i
am assuming (?) that this means the cabling and all is set up correctly.
nothing shows on the rcx lcd however and i am always get the "no reply".
i have tried moving the tower around and flipping the near/far switch
on the tower. maybe i am guessing at the wrong firmware file? ((how
come nowhere can i find which one off the cd to send... i am guessing
the one in the firm/ directory)) but i am thinking that shouldnt give
me the "no reply" error ..
ugh. please help!
signed,
stranded.
