| You know, after the first time I read through the SDK for 2.0, I always wanted to try sending immediate commands from the RCX to another one. that, I suspect, I can do with the standard firmware and NQC (I'll have to try). But to get information (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

There are two places you could have downloaded the BrickOS stuff from. 1) The NQC site, which has everything (like the kernal) pre-built. 2) The BrickOS site, where YOU need to build everything. If you did #1, it may be hard for you to rebuild (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) I don't have a problem doing that, however, I suspect very few people will find it useful. First, most people who understand how to use the code, won't have a use for it.

| So, I finally managed to do something that's been bugging me for a year. When we were at the state FLL tournament last year, there were several times when we had to check the batteries, to see if they were still good. To do that, Greg would take the (...)

First, are we limiting to a Type 1b as we called it, i.e. - a Type 1b module occupies a 32x32 baseplate, not more? What (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| Ok, so John and I have been talking about the GBC modules we're building for the IndyLUG layout in October. We've both had ideas for GBC modules that move balls over the train track. Before we each wonder off in our own directions, I'd like to (...) (19 years ago, 7-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) Ok, I signed up for a pretty small area, which is 2x6 baseplates, or 64x192 studs. There's an adjacent open area that we can expand into, if needed. The train wonders into other areas, but I've really signed up for a single row of six modules (...) (19 years ago, 1-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
