Henrik,

Don't panic. To make sure that you have actually killed
the pbForth firmware, you need to take out the batteries
while it's actually running a program. I've had it showing
"4th" on the display for over 1 month just on batteries.
If it's running a program, you can be sure it's not in sleep
mode...

The other thing is that the batteries may be weak. You might
try to put in new batteries in the RCX and Tower and see
if that helps....

Cheers, Ralph Hempel

Subject: RCX Crash!


I have downloaded the latest version of pbForth and when I
downloaded it to
the RCX the "4th" appeared on the screen. Later I wanted to go back to the
standard RCX 2.0 firmware. I took out the batteries to clear the
memory from
pbForth, but when I tried to download the original firmware it
just said "No
response from RCX". Then I tried the command line version of
NQC(wich is the
program that I used before pbForth). Now it worked to download most of the
firmware, but in the end it said "No response from RCX" and the
screen went
back to normal. What should I do? I really don´t wanna buy a new
one. Help!

Well, acually I wanted to download the pbForth into the RCX because I was reading the book EXTREME MINDSTORMS that you wrote with Dave Baum. In the pbForth chapter I just read trough until I got to the second part. There I needed to test for myself (...) (24 years ago, 20-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
