  Re: legOS limitation
 
Hi Colin, (...) The one task per priority level requirement is gone at least since March. There is a priority chain mechanism now, with round-robin scheduling within a priority level. (...) Yes, a task won't die while higher-priority tasks are (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Firmware behaviour
 
Hi all, does the ON/OFF Button work while a program is running with the standard firmware? Or do you need to press RUN to stop it first? Markus. (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: RCX with AC power - Still Available
 
(...) These things are commercially avaible already, my uncle has one. If I remember correctly, it was made by Husqvarna. The major drawback is that the solar power driven one is +/- Hfl 8000 ($4000). One with batteries is half as expensive. Really (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Double echo
 
(...) Standalone loader would be nice. (...) Well, the most important, of course, is the stack bug. BTW, what about multitasker? How many cells would you recommend to allocate? Should be it checked by HAT word or not? (...) Sure, I would like to (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: !!! Laser attachments for Mindstorms !!!
 
(...) I'd love to see something based on this. (It's something I'm working on too, actually.) My sense is that small imprecisions will quickly add up to large errors, making this method difficult. (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Not necessarily the handyboard....
 
I have an old 486 laptop and a few motors and sensors lying around...Does anyone know of a DSP board or some other device I could use to interface the motors and sensors to the laptop for real- time data aquistion? (I already have my handyboard (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Group to discuss Teaching Lego Robotics?? lugnet.robotics.teaching ???
 
(...) In your mind, which issues brought up by/at MindFest are the most important ones to carry on (that aren't covered already yet by online groups), or which would you most like to see covered? (...) Interesting. I wonder if that answer assumes (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.events)
 
  Re: Firmware behaviour
 
(...) The on/off button is always operational. It makes a great NO! STOP THAT! button when your robot is tearing itself apart accidentally. :) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: GP2D05
 
I am using the GP2D02 which is also identical to the GP2D05 except that on the GP2D05 you can manually set the threshole using the built-in trimpot. I am using Barry Brouillet driver for interfacing to the Handyboard/w expansion board and it works (...) (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: GP2D05 (correction)
 
I apologize for the previous mail on the GP2D05 subject. The information I gave was base on my careless assumption (duhh) which was also wrong. Once again, I am sorry for any inconvenience. =o( Rob (26 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
