Okay, first issue; it doesn't want to download FW to the RCX. I tried several times, but it doesn't want to work. However, I have had no noticeable issues when downloading even fairly large programs. I will look into this issue. It could just be a power issue.

For me, this issue is no big deal. I can just download FW using my other computer with a "real" IR tower. However, I would like to find the cause and be able to fix it.

Anyhow, here is a picture of what it looks like after the rebuild.

Since I had the camera out, I took a picture of what my "workbench" looks like right now. Notice both builds of the IR "tower" towards the right of the picture.
