... You will need the drivers though. I was looking on my computer, and I found two things that look like the Lego RCX USB IR Tower drivers. I've uploaded them both to this post. You could try either (or both) to see if it makes any difference.... I must have drivers that run the towers via Robolab...

Ok, So, I don't have RIS. None of my kits came with this software. I only have several versions of Robolab. So that may just not work. I speak German but 18 years of living in the US and not speaking ever about issues like this in German will make this interesting. I will try that German forum. Howe...

I installed BricxCC and tried using it. I do not know what a graphical RIS development environment or Spirit/phantom drive...

RCX and software response are the same as with the Windows 7 machine (also 32 bit). I can close communication via...

That seems to be a good sign. Nonetheless, not much else seems to be going on. I tried a few things in th...

They work very well most of the time and they allow, in my opinion, easier building of robots with the p...
