  Re: Old Lego colors

  Re: Architectural Wonders theme
 
(...) That's true about the puzzle size. However, I'm not so sure about the building size in a lego set. Look at the difference between Karim and others' tiny SW models and Lego's minifig scale SW models. The microfig models still capture the (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  RE: Multitasker test script
 
John, I've been looking at your ping routine and note the following... Even if FF EMIT did not block, the wait makes things irrelevant. At 2400 baud, the FF is out the port within 4 msec. In fact, if EMIT did not block, you could probably wait jsut (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: cockpit from naboo fighter for AWing
 
(...) I just posted an in progress sample of it in lugnet.cad.dat.parts but you will need to inline the primitives for now because they are un-official. The piece 30384 is about 85%-90% done. Only the rounded tip of the canopy is incomplete. --Karim (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
 
  Old Lego colors
 
Gary's question about the red stripe reminded me of something. Take a look at those pics of the old sets: note the preponderance of red and white, and then yellow. My memories of my childhood lego in the 60's/early 70's are that the blue bricks we (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.general)

No, it's not documentation for pbFORTH - yet. I have found a decent book on line, it is Tim Hendtlass's Real-Time FORTH book.

John, I tried to put this part of the code into my test script without the ping word and it worked fine. Yes, I uncommented the line that does not work for you.

Coilín: So far as I am concerned, your "newby queries" are most welcome here. I hope that we don't lose sight of the fact that the RXC brick _is_ a computer, and that it needs to be programmed. You might find that the following two news groups are a (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)

As long as the condition stays true it won't do anything which is probably not what you want. What (...) (27 years ago, 13-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
