(...) Well, I can think of lots of reasons why you might want trig - if you know what direction you are moving in and how far you've travelled, trig will let you figure out where you are relative to where you started. Using an NQC lookup table isn't (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Yuck How much time is the brick spending sleeping then? Roland (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, it all appears to be synchronous. However, only one bytecode instruction is run in any given 3ms; any active tasks interleave their instructions. If you have two tasks running, they will each be getting an instruction every other 3ms. If (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: Overcharged NiCd Batteries?
|
|
Aha, I know nothing about Handyboards, only about NiCads. I don't see why you need a larger power supply to charge slightly larger cells. Your handyboard is probably only drawing about 75 to 100 mAh to charge at 50 mAh, so a bigger power supply (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself well enough. I meant to say that I used the 500mA 12V power supply (block AC to DC transformer) by connecting it to the handyboard. From the specifications, the handyboard is supposed to be able to charge 800mAh (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

(...) Wow! That is very interesting. I wonder if the whole thing is synchronous and based on the 3mS sensor read cycle? This would mean that every process gets one of its byte codes "done" during this periodic 3mS spring-clean cycle. I guess the (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | BricxCC release 3.3.4.5
|
|
I've released another version of BricxCC. This release fixes a couple minor bugs. The Code Explorer feature wasn't processing a file when it was first opened (it was waiting until the first change was made). That should work correctly in this (...)

(...) I don't know if you are using BricxCC or not, but I get a single error when I try to compile this line of code if the target is set to Scout or Cybermaster. If I turn on the NQC 1.x compatibility mode via the Preferences dialog I get two (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
