After all the amazing post across lugnet the past few weeks, it feels a bit lame putting this one up: (URL) guess once it's running up on an RCX it'll be a bit more interesting. On the topic of RCX - and the whole old-school Mindstorms preservation (...) (15 years ago, 30-Apr-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have updated the Bibo Patch Rollup Collection posted to SourceForge at (URL) primary changes are in Patch 11, which provides DCC support, and the key change in that patch was the modification of some assembly code that performed motor controller (...)

Patch 10: This works for me under Cygwin with a USB tower, but some of the files such as rcx_comm.c have a bit of platform-specific code. Patch 11: I've noticed that the linker command file is a little different in Bibo than it was in BrickOS. If (...) (15 years ago, 21-Apr-09, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

A very useful site is the cs university page here: (URL) of useful tutorials and instructions. It would be unhelpful to have it disappear.
