And has anyone tried LUGNET yet? The group you probably want is lugnet.robotics.rcx.
no, ive tried in a dark room, and also with making kinda like a tunnel between the tower and the rcx with white paper. same results...
its the com tower but im using a usb to serial adapter because my laptop doestn have any serials. the tower is using a brand new 9v battery. how do i check the cable?
the computer port(the usb one) works great with everything else ive used it for, like thumbdrives
