I found one of the original Lego Mindstorms kits at a garage sale and I had to buy it. I have wanted one of these for a while, but I never got around to buying one. Now that they are somewhat antiquated, you can usually pick them up pretty cheaply. Because these sets are nearly 20 years old, there are usually some problems, so once I got my set working I thought I would document the process for others to follow. The main problem with Mindstorms RCX is the lack of support from Lego for these old sets. According to what I have read and some experience, the sets only really work well under Windows 98. People found ways to make them work under heavily patched copies of Windows XP, but since Microsoft no longer supports XP and the patches from Lego aren't available anymore, I had to find an alternative to the Lego software.

When you attach and press the push sensors, a little arrow appears on the LCD below the number that the sensor is attached to. I plugged a motor into the motor port and cycled through the programs that were already saved on the RCX. I found a program that ran the motor forward and stopped it if you pressed the push sensor.

I found this site that has the original inventory for this set. I didn't actually go through the list to check everything. I just looked to see how many motors and sensors were supposed to be here and went from there.
