  problems with communications
 
I'm trying to get started with pbforth, but not finding it easy. While I know no forth, I'm happy with RPN (long-time HP calculator user) and stacks, dictionaries and defining words (ex-Postscript programmer). What I'm struggling with is getting as (...)

  Re: Echoing printf to terminal
 
this is from george musser. enjoy. - fred My advanced library of routines ((URL) includes a kludgy way to echo printf() to the IC command line. Look at the function iprintf() in the file advlib_utility.c. The routine sets up a character pointer to (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Echoing printf to terminal
 
i don't know this offhand. you'd have to assemble the pcode source and look and see where it ends up. it's a ring buffer tho' so it might be a little tricky. you'd be better off patching the lcd print interrupt routine (it unspools one char per ms (...)

  Re: Echoing printf to terminal
 
this is non-trivial. The -loopback option isn't what you think it is; it's a flag telling the downloader that the low-level serial ckt has a hardware echo. it's relevant to an earlier 6811 design (the mini board), not the HB design. this would (...)

  Re: Interactive C
 
You have to coerce the int to a float, e.g: int i= 7; float j= 3.; float result; result = j * (float)i; The above should work. Please let me know if not. Fred (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Echoing printf to terminal
 
Hi folks, We have been looking for a way to echo the printf()s on LCD to the IC terminal on host computer (using 2.86 - freeware). IC has a -loopback option, but apparently that only works for HB rev 1.5 and earlier. Is there a way to do this with (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Java Mindstorms API
 
Hi all, I'm a 4th year computer science student and have just developed an add on to the RCXPort API for mindstorms control for the purpose of using with standard ML as part of my 4th year project.

  Interactive C
 
(Perhaps this isn't the right place to ask questions about I.C. but it is related to the handy board so I will continue) I am trying to write a program that uses the lego sensors and multiplies them by constants that are floats. The expansion board (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Extensions to Scout via VLL
 
Hi, I am a newbe to lugnet so please forgive me for verboseness and the cross post to the two groups, but my request seems to be across both. My son has been using a scout & microscout in combination for 3 motor robots for some time, using the scout (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.vll, lugnet.robotics.scout)

  VC limitations - Is there an alternative?
 
Hopefully this topic hasn't been beat to death... Over the past few months I've been able to borrow quite a few web cams and only the Logitech USB ones work (which makes sense considering the Lego cam is Logitech), except for a parallel port (...) (23 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics)
