(...) No rest for the wicked, John. (...) I always specify the size. Some assemblers can infer the size from the operand, but it's usually better practice to specify it. The L suffix is not supported on the H8/300 variant used by the RCX. (...) I'm (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I just 'ported' (euphemism for minor modifications) some code lingering on the web for fun and voila: MD5 on RCX is up and running (lejos). If anyone's interested, I can post the code.

(...) This applies to the red 2x2 micromotor, not to the mini or power motor found in the RIS. I vaguely remember (try searching in LUGNET news) that the way to save a power motor, if at all possible, is to apply power in the right way, and not to (...)

I'm working on a syntax highlighter for H8 assembler for BricxCC. I downloaded a couple PDFs from Hitachi's website. I have the H8/300 Programming Manual (e602025_h8300.pdf) and THE INTRODUCTION OF HITACHI H8 MICROCOMPUTERS (introduction_h8.pdf). (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

According to a book by Ferrari brothers ("Building Robots With Lego Mindstorms") here's what you can try: --- How to release a Jammed Micromotor A micromotor jams so easily, you should know what to do when it occurs. The following list should help: (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Chris, Thanks for the input. This is the kind of information I need. I have always relied on alcohol as a cleaner for contacts and I did not think of the effect it might have on the rubber contact. I thought the button might be a carbon contact. (...)

You have to wonder how the SDK could possibly do that. The only opportunity I can see for it doing this is with the binary files javac and java, but I doubt they have auto-update features. Maybe the applet JVM has this? p.s. Kudos for reading the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics)
