I have a repeating failure trying to download the firmware. I'm using RCX Command Center and pbforth 121. It fails in exactly the same spot - record 1638 - each and every time, with two different RCX units. The batteries are new and I can reload the (...)

|
|
(...) Disclaimer: I didn't try ANYTHING of this... According to Kekoa's Internals, the ROM routine 0x3250 (0x3266) with parameter 0x1770 sets the IR range to long (short). So you need to do something like: push 0x1770 jsr 0x3250 pop ; Stack should (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I've discovered the RCX is in long range mode UNTIL I send it a POWER_INIT pbForth command. Pity... what's the way around this, anyone ? (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

When I muck about with Exploration Mars software, the RCX doesn't go out of range until it's out of the room. With pbForth, the RCX receives the commands over just as far a range, but can only send its "ok" feedback when it is quite close to the (...) (24 years ago, 19-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Roland, I have discussed other sets to augment the RCX in the past. My favorite (if you can get one) is the CodePilot set. Other than that, get at least one UltimateAccessory kit, for the rotation sensor and remote control. I don't have vision (...) (24 years ago, 14-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi All, After some effort, I was able to track down the problem. It seems that in the move to a new server that does case-insensitive URLs for my site, I forgot to point my ftp program at the new server and my ISP kept my old server running. The net (...)

pbForth is going great now. It's made this toy just what I had hoped for ! Anyways, I was thinking if I could use my IR port from my PALM3. Or, would the serial port work if plugged ( arrgh...its too wide ) into the IR lego tower & use a terminal (...) (24 years ago, 12-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

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 (...)
