 | | RCXTCL.ZIP is repaired - finally!
|
|
Thanks for the flood of email indicating that RCXTCL is broken! My own stupidity kept reloading the cached version, and it was, of course, OK. Once I reloaded Windows on my machine, the problem was obvious. Anyways, the new RCXTCL.ZIP can be loaded (...)

(...) I've set baud to 2400... after reading other messages in this group...where on Earth did it ever mention that ? Hyperterminal works fine now. (24 years ago, 10-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I have the firmware on the brick, as it displays "4th". Trouble is...what do I do next...what settings to use in Hyperterm / crt and to the post itself ?

(...) Good idea. I saw I didn't paste the definition of RESET_BUTTONS into the message. Inside the interrupt handler, the Program key hides the Run key. So Program+Run=4 and Program+View+Run=6. If I read the docs correctly this is not the normal (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi All, I've just updated my site with new information on controlling standard RC servos with the RCX. Besides the dead-simple schematic that uses Radio-Shack parts, you can even control pneumatic switches! There are a few pictures that show a (...)
