RCX Motor Not Working! Help!

Hi everybody!

I have the lego mindstorms robotics invetion system 2.0, and I am trying to use MSRS and VPL to program it. So far, I have been able to do nothing. My main problem is that the motor won't work. I have used all of the rcx manifests. It won't work. I have looked through here many times, and I have looked at the tutorials too.

What do I need to do to get my motors working? Could anyone point me in the right direction? Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello imax. Sorry you are having trouble with this.

I have a couple of ideas:

1. Did you review the RCX page for setting up your hardware?

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb483028.aspx

2. Did you try Robotics Tutorial 2 with LEGO.RCX.MotorTouchSensor.manifest.xml?

Did you get any errors in the command window?

While the service is running, try navigating to the console output. Do you see any errors?

http://localhost:50000/console/output

Yes there are errors, and I have some idea what they mean, but maybe you can help me know why they're caused and what we can do to fix them. These are the errors:

Code Snippet
Manifest Loader: Creating service failed: http://schemas.microsoft.com/robotics/2006/06/legorcxcontactsensor.html. Reason: dssp.tcp://bandm:50001/legorcxcontactsensor

Thanks, imax

Did you pick this message up from the command window, or from http://localhost:50000/console/output? You received a Fault in the LegoRcsContactSensor service, but we need to determine what caused the fault. Most Fault's contain more details than this.

I might also suggest that you use DbgView which is freely available from [1]. Just start it before you start the node and see the spew in the window. Hopefully that will give us a few more details.

Secondly, you could start the service from inside Visual Studio and turn on Common Language Runtime Exceptions with [x] Thrown and [x] User-unhandled boxes checked.
