Hello all,
I've got a rather odd condition here with my old 1.0 RCX. It's seen just
about every firmware out there, and I just nuked Lejos for pbForth. I
used the NQC downloader, loaded the most recent s-record, and lo!, '4th'
appeared on my display.
I was able to do some simple arithmatic on my RCX:
1 1 OK
+ OK
.2 OK
which was encouraging. However, I wanted to download a more substantial
program, and so I thought I'd cycle the power on the RCX. The buttons
didn't work, but this doesn't bother me--I know about the POWER_OFF word!
Now, it won't turn back on.
I'm not finding anything on the pbForth site that covers this; I'm
assuming either that it is A) very odd behavior, or B) everyone who uses
pbForth just builds models that make it easy to remove and replace
batteries...
Thoughts?
Thanks much,
Matt

| (...) Matt, Just because the LCD is blank does not mean that pbForth is not running. When you power the RCX on and pbForth is the firmware, the LCD is blanked. Can you communicate over the IR link? If so, you're fine. If you DO need to remove the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| From my experience, what you are describing is normal behavior for the current version of pbForth. Mr. Hempel has done an excellent job of creating a version of Forth to work with the RCX, but the work is far from complete. If you look at the (...)
