+Usage | |
+----- | |
+1. Connect the IR-tower via a serial-to-usb adapter. Check that the | |
+tower has a working 9V battery. | |
+ | |
+2. Install nqc (in AUR, may need manual build) | |
+ | |
+3. Find a Lego RCX, turn it on, and upload the firmware, which will take | |
+a few minutes while the RCX counts up to high numbers. The IR tower | |
+will light a green LED while sending data: | |
+ | |
+ $ make upload_firmware | |
+ | |
+4. Upload the program: | |
+ | |
+ $ make upload | |
+ | |
+Note: The RCX will not remember the program and forget the firmware if | |
+powered off and without batteries. |
