This Add-on pack gives you 18 new components that simulate physical and logical components that can work with the LEGO RCX system. We have also included two model RCX robot chassis that you use within MindRover. They are modeled after the physical vehicles described below.

Finally, a new scenario is in this add-on pack, "Robot Fun!". This scenario limits construction to include only the components that will work with the RCX. If you build and simulate RCX robots in this scenario you can then download your robot files to the RCX.

The documentation includes:

  • Details on how to build the physical robots (as described in the links below)
  • Details on each new component, including usage notes on some of them
  • All the installation information with links to NQC and RCX firmware v2.0
  • 5 Example vehicles, with details on their 'brains'

New components include:

RCXDisplay Display a number on the RCX LCD screen
RCXDualEngine Dual engine component, used with a two wheel robot.
RCXEngine Single engine component that acts like an RCX motor
RCXLightSensor RCX Light sensor component
RCXSpeaker Allows you to play the 6 basic sounds of the RCX
RCXTouchSensor RCX touch sensor component
RCXSteering Steering component for use with a 4 wheeled robot where one motor is used to turn the front wheels (see the model below)
RobotAdd Adds two integer inputs
RobotIf Compares two inputs and returns 'greater than', 'less than', or 'equal to'
RobotDivide Divides two integer inputs; results in 'quotient' and 'remainder'
RobotLoopTimer Timer component that starts again when it has finished counting down
RobotMultiply Multiplies two integer inputs
RobotRandom Generates a random number
RobotRange Checks to see if a number is within a range
RobotSequencer Sequences through 8 steps. You can set the time interval between steps
RobotSubtract Subtracts two integers
RobotTimer Countdown timer; starts counting when you set it
RobotVariable Stores a number

Requirements:

You must have MindRover: The Europa Project installed and running before you can install the add-on pack for RCX. This requires Win9x/2k/NT with a 3D graphics accelerator card. More details can be found in the MindRover link.

If you wish to download your files from the MindRover programming/simulation environment to the physical device, then you must have the LEGO MindStorms Robotics Invention Kit. We recommend that you upgrade the firmware to v2.0 (links are included in the documentation).
