| (...) OK, so if the RCX is in the "dead" state, shutting down the GUI and restarting the GUI makes no difference. And you can always clobber the RCX running pbForth by shining a light at it? I'll see what I can do on this end to reproduce the (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| Shutting down the GUI and starting it back up has no effect, pbForth continues to respond correctly. Adding words to the dictionary doesn't seem to make any difference either. Whether having just uploaded the firmware or having the RCX active for (...) (23 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

|
| Does anyone have any code that implements semaphores and shows where they might be useful? That is one place that the documentation seems a little weak. Thanks, Sam (23 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| The GUI version is 2.1.0. The pbForth version (COLD) is 2.1.2. I am using the USB tower with RIS 2.0. Once the RCX stops responding, if I pull out a battery and re-upload the firmware, the RCX will respond again to the same GUI session. In other (...)
