To my dismay, I discovered this morning that the batteries of the RCX were
empty. And it's sunday :-(
It is possible that I forgot to turn it off, yesterday evening. But aside
from this, I use the sequence
LCD_CLEAR LCD_REFRESH POWER_OFF
to turn the RCX off. Is this correct? Should there be a RCX_SHUTDOWN, too?
Has anybody got an idea how long a battery pack will last, when using only
the RCX, IR transmitter and sensors? This one didn't last two weeks.

| (...) It's probably bad luck. Two weeks running is about normal if you're doing lots of IR downloads. The IRED takes quite a bit of current when transmitting. The POWER_OFF does shut things down....I really do forget if RCX_SHUTDOWN is necessary. (...) (25 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
