  [ANN] pbForth Assembler for the RCX
 
With the release of pbForth 2.1.2 last week, I've finally got things stable enough to warrant adding some really neat tutorials. This week, thanks to Darin Johnson, I am happy to announce that you can write new words in assembler right on the RCX! (...)

  Re: WELCOME to lego-robotics@crynwr.com
 
Have you found a way to run the Vision Command software on your W2K system. I have side-by-side Win98 and Win2K so that I can use the W2K system for heavy duty development and the Win98 system if I try to use the Lego camera. Any workaround? ----- (...)

  Re: 4 Legged Robot; Steering Help
 
I thought of a system like that with either the ankles or feet moving, unfortunately the robot will be using 2 motors for each leg so adding another means adding another rcx to the robot (it'll be using 3 already). Thanks for the confirmation of the (...) (23 years ago, 28-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(this comes up because I'm finally trying to incorporate these changes into the next release of legOS... -Stephen) (...) This part didn't work for me! The dependency only rule didn't work.

  Re: Multi Source Programs

  Turntable
 
As my living country can't buy LEGO parts from LEGO. Which LEGO kit can find the turntable? (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Multi Source Programs
 
I am developing some code and would like to compile multiple sources in one program. I cannot figure out how to do this. All the make targets seem to only allow one source file. What are my options? Can I compile my source as a library? If so how? (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Lego IR Remote - What is max send rate?
 
(...) I am not exactly sure, but you might consider using a vector in the robot so if a key is missed it continue on the same vector. In order to accomplish this you would need to have messages for keypresses and keyreleases. So if the robot does (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Lego IR Remote - What is max send rate?
 
I'm working on the motor key handler for legOS support of the IR remote. I'm looking at service rates of keypresses at the remote. In studying how The Mindstorms OS responds to the remote I noticed that holding the key down (for motor keys) kept the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: 4 Legged Robot; Steering Help
 
gigamax, The turntable in the body is sure to work. It is a sure fire method. Mind you, I've never made a quadraped. I work on bipeds. What might be a more interesting concept is two turntables on each front foot. If you can power the two front feet (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Control lego motors and rotation sensors

Since wou use RoboLAB it may rather be the LEGO firmware that protects your motors, it contains code to limit the speed of switching the motor. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  4 Legged Robot; Steering Help
 
I am working on a project to build a 4 legged robot. The legs will be fairly articulate although I have not yet figured out how to turn a 4 legged robot.

I have yet to see a single problem with RIS 2.0 software on Windows 2000. I have done VB development with the tower/rcx on the same platform. I have used exclusively Windows 2000 for all of my development and robotics without any problems. The only (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
