So, it took me a while, and I
THINK,
I
MIGHT
have solved the stupid rcx crash thing.
My code has a wait until command. it is peppered throughout the code
and it is a simple way for me to wait until BOTH the X and the Y are in
position before i do a pick/place cycle.
it looks like the "crash" was that it would get into position BUT would
not advance the counter to say "YES I AM In POSITION" so the rcx would
"hang" and that would be it.
I added a touch sensor to an unused port and when it would hang, I would
press the button and it would advance the counter. then the program
would solve the game just like nothing was the matter.
SO, i have 3 options
1. Do I just have the emergency touch switch and during the game, just
press the button once in a while, then have to listed to the likes of
Bruce and the little children mockage.
2. replace the touch switch with a simpler timer event that looks for a
certain time of inactivity then force the pick/place cycle.
OR
3. replace ALL the "wait until" code with a simple wait 50mS - logic
would dictate that it will not take my bot longer then 50 mS to cross
the Y arm, so that it should be where it needs to be. the bad side is
that I waste valuable milliseconds for the short hops along the Y axis,
while i wait out the rest of the 50 mS.
I'll keep you all posted.

| (...) Are you dreaming??....No stink'in way you control that bot after we press go. Next thing, you'll be asking if its okay to just reposition a block with your hand. This from the guy who argues the merits of lego vs non-lego string! Bruce (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

| (...) First of all, I definately recall you saying in an earlier post that you had removed *all* of the WAIT instructions. I guess you meant only the independent varieties. A suggestion: (just so that if you beat me, I can claim it was *my* (...) (23 years ago, 14-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
