(...) Currently there isn't any notion of an "error code" from the serial port class - opening the serial port just returns true/fals.

I don't think it is supposed to. I think it is searching for the Mindstorms signal, which the pbForth firmware does not send. I had that happen to me, and I got it to work fine(eventually)... Andy (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Re LLW Sales Be aware that they didn't have a full range of the new sets when I went on Wednesday 29th. Lots of Slave 1 though none of the new large castle (£54.00) or the Tournament. The Guarded Treasury was great value at £8.99 PS if any of you (...) (25 years ago, 30-Dec-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
