Hello everyone,
I know this is an old message but I'm looking for the ROBOLAB 2.5.4 C patch to
update my original software 2.5.4 and the link described above does not work :(
If someone still have this installation patch and can share with us, please let
me know.

I was fortunate enough to find 4 LEGO compatible 4.5 volt programmable bricks
on Facebook Buy and Sell
I uploaded a few pictures here--
https://flic.kr/s/aHskKcnWEa
and I made a little video (with all the Dave tangents I could muster) here--
https://youtu.be/7NECA1q9-gU
I know I’m posting to what some would say is a very obscure site these
days(LUGNET) about a very obscure finding (4.5 volt programmable brick) to a
very defunct LEGO Technic theme (4.5 volt), but there will be a few of us
‘old timers’ that may appreciate this.
As well, in my sleuthing about for information, I haven’t, as yet, found ANY
information about these programmable bricks on these here internets.
At all.
That I find to be surprising.
The information I do have--
The bricks themselves are labelled ‘ProCom SEQ’ and I believe it was a
non-lego precursor to LEGO set 1093/9750--
https://guide.lugnet.com/set/1093
With the added bonus that you didn’t need a computer attached to the
controller--it was all in the brick
After I took apart one of them, I found out that Paul R Spurgeon made these
programmable bricks. Did a quick LUGNET serch, to no avail, then went to
Facebook. Found out that there is a Paul Spurgeon that worked for our
favourite company from 2000 - 2004 in the robotics development department,
and he’s from the UK (and so are these bricks) and deduced that he’s the
gentleman that I’m probably looking for to get more information on these
devices.
But I’m posting here anyway.
If ANYONE at all has a manual or a ‘quick guide’ or any information on these
ProCom SEQ bricks, I would appreciate a forward to me, or a link to
something.
I love me a good mystery, and I’ve been having fun trying to ascertain how
these things work, but a guide would be so much more helpful.
Anyway, here for your edification and historical trackability.

I’ve been playing with this for over a week now, and I’ve created a few more
videos--
https://youtu.be/BkBs5KvwV_0
https://youtu.be/71g4hc_Qvms
https://youtu.be/KNNjYBnxPe0
In these videos, I’ve showed my evolution of discovering how these boxes work.
The really cool bit about this process thus far is that the e-mail forwarding
from lugnet.robotics is still working! I’ve received an e-mail response from a
friend that received an e-mail from this very lugnet group, and the e-mails back
and forth between us has made the discovery process so awesome!!
Anyway, I’m going to further detail what I’ve found out in a separate post
(forthcoming) but I wanted to update this thread with the latest videos

I've used the RCX with standard LEGO firmware, though I'm not familiar with the
Swan firmware. Having said that, this simply sounds like the old message is not
getting cleared to make room for the new message. Have you tried calling the
ClearMessage() function?
If that doesn't fix it, try posting your source code and maybe someone can
figure it out.

Good morning
We are using a total of 12 lego rcx sets to practice in an educational center.
We are using the nqc language with these robots. We use 2 types of firmware: on
the one hand the firm0328.lgo, sometimes the firm0332.lgo, ie RCX2, and also the
fast0103.lgo. I have not managed to work with nqc correctly a higher version of
the firmware created by Dick Swan. Why do not we always use the Swan despite its
advantages? Because we have a problem with communication between rcx. We managed
to maintain unidirectional communication between 2 RCX2 and from Swan to RCX2.
Also bidirectional between 2 RCX2. What we can not do is that Swan gets
messages. Really, what we can not do is to get a second message. The first
message is received, but then no longer receives more, even if we stop the
program with the "run" key. We can only stop it by pressing the "on / off" key
and then turning it back on. Each time you receive a message, this appears on
the screen with the transmission points, but the rcx with Swan does not seem to
react. We have tried to place waiting times between receptions but it does not
seem to work.
For a while we have given up on robots with 2 rcx to work with 6 sensors
simultaneously, or we have to work with 6 sensors, but giving up the advantages
of the Swan firmware.
But now I was determined to take up this issue, because I think that
communication between 2 Swan, by now, must be more than proven, and as I have
not seen anyone comment on this problem, it must be that we are doing something
wrong.
I know this material is discontinued and there is less and less information on
the web, but if there is still someone out there using it, could anyone tell us
if receiving several messages by a Swan can be obtained, and if you have some
example of a simple program?
Perhaps it can influence in this the fact of having several tasks running
simultaneously so that the messages do not work?

I am working on a program that posterizes an image. Can you do this with
theThreshold, MorphOpen, MorphClose, MorphProperOpen, MorphProperClose,
MorphThin and Invert commands in RoboLab?

Using RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94, in many ways is like being stranded on Mars
and this is all there is, which is everything. There is plenty of time until the
next spaceship arrives since contacting Earth depends on making this software
and hardware work. The first space shuttle used a software and hardware that was
more primitive than RCX bricks and RoboLab 2.94. The goal is to surf the
Internet for a paintable image, change it into nine colors of blobs and print it
by melting oil pastels on metal.

Having to trouble shoot a Dell Inspiron 1100 not booting up cleanly. An alarm
goes off and it goes to safe boot mode. I am running the original Home version
of XP without updates and RoboLab 2.94. Keeping the 2007 working original
program until new application arm is working. Side arm needs to come in and heat
up surface where oil pastel dot is applied and move aside for the application
wheel to rotate to the color and move down to apply the dot. Thinking it will be
a side arm where the heating box flips down, moves into dot area for allotted
time then out. http://tomlohre.com/lego.htm

Hello everyone,
This is an old topic but I need your help.
I acquired the set 9731 LM Vision Command without the original software and I
can't found the English version for WinXP nowhere. At BrickLink, only other
languages are on sale for WinXP.
Can someone share the installation CD in English of LEGO Mindstorms Vision
Command for Windows XP or where can I download the software in English??
Any help appreciated...

Answer: It is simple: I used the prolific usb to serial adapter, configured the
Serial communication to 9600,8,n,xon/xoff , took a NULL-Modem Serial Cable and
linkt pin 4 and 6 on the 9-pin connector together. After that communication to
the brick succeded on windows 10 for me. May this helps out

Hello, I am a new user to the Bricx Command Center.
Forgive me if bad English. I seek to connect my CyberMaster unit to Bricx
Command Center, though I get the error "No connection to the programmable brick"
upon each time started. I use the original CyberMaster tower connected via a USB
to serial adapter to my computer. My computer is 64bit and Windows 10. I have
heard of success in connecting to this brick and using Bricx Command Center. Any
helpful advice?
Thank you,

We have just launched a kickstarter for RoboSnap - a camera that detects
colored objects, the approximate size and shape of the objects and takes low
resolution images so you can see what your robot sees. You can program with
Snap!, Scratch, C and python. Please help support our kickstarter to make
RoboSnap a reality
