10 Usage |
|
11 ----- |
|
12 1. Make sure that the linux kernel has the following options enabled: |
|
13 |
|
14 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y |
|
15 CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_GENERIC=y |
|
16 |
|
17 2. Connect the IR-tower via a serial-to-usb adapter. Check that the |
|
18 tower has a working 9V battery. |
|
19 |
|
20 3. Install nqc (in AUR, may need manual build) |
|
21 |
|
22 4. Find a Lego RCX, turn it on, and upload the firmware, which will take |
|
23 a few minutes while the RCX counts up to high numbers. The IR tower |
|
24 will light a green LED while sending data: |
|
25 |
|
26 $ make upload_firmware |
|
27 |
|
28 It is possible to specify alternatives to sudo(1): |
|
29 |
|
30 $ make upload_firmware SUDO=doas |
|
31 |
|
32 5. Upload the program: |
|
33 |
|
34 $ make upload |
|
35 |
|
36 Note: The RCX will not remember the program and forget the firmware if |
|
37 powered off and without batteries. |
