Got Lego RCX?

Just interested to find out who here has the Lego Mindstorms Kit V1.0 or 1.5??
i am writing software to control it in realtime (through com port) I know its kinda late, but im doing it just 4 fun ..
the Interface can:
I dont have it, but I am currently fiddling around with a BASIC Stamp II. I plan on adding a driver motor to it soon for... well world domination i guess.

lol, i havn''t tried that (man im stoopid).
but anyway, im just doing this for fun, is anyone interested in using it?
Wow! That brings back memories!
I was one of the core programmers on Lego Technic CyberMaster [aka Spirit] (the cousin of Mindstorms [aka Probe]). I even did a small bit of consultancy to the basic Mindstorms command centre software team.
There are probably other things you should expose like the "Float" mode for the motors, the "watch" display stuff, etc
So are you interfacing with the OCX (the proper way) or are you trying to talk to the tower directly ?

S1CA, you could be very handy
no, i hat using ActiveX / Controls + i lurve doing things the
hard way :D
im interfaceing by directly talking to the tower, its kinda hard
work hacking it, no official documentation
can you explain to me y it cant execute the same command 2wice
and you have to keep toggling a 0x08 bit for every command ?
btw. i cant get the "Tone" function working, any info on how i
should implement this?
theres a screenshot & feature list avalible:

Thats some pretty neat stuff. The best I ever did with lego (just the motorized set, not the one where you hook it up to your computer) as that I made a robot that had 6 legs and actually walked forward and backward. I have always been interested in learning on how to hook stuff up to a computer to make motors go and whatnot, but I would probably really need to read up on basic electronics first.

Back a few years before they cam out with mindstorms I built a small circuit that would let me control the motors through the LPT port on my 286. The circuit was programmed using QBASIC. It provided all sorts of fun, I had 4 motors, a fair amount of pneumatic stuff, and a ton of parts.
