  Controlling larger motors from RCX ??
 
We need to control larger motors with a separate 12V power supply, from the RCX outputs. We would like to 'mirror' the RCX bipolar, pulse-width-modulated outputs to a separate circuit with a larger H-bridge that is (probably) electrically isolated (...)

  Re: error compiling egcs for use with legOs/BrickOs..
 
(...) Too much work! Egcs is sort of old, you better try to get a newer compiler version, ready to start, as rpm. You will need the gcc-rpm and the binutils rpm. A start for searching could be rpmfind, look at (URL) warning: On my SuSE Linux, (...) (23 years ago, 7-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Battery voltage levels
 
I have two RCXs: a version 1.0 with external power connector, and a version 2.0 without. They consistently report different voltages on the same batteries: the 2.0 puts all batteries about 0.3v higher. I want to know how much variation there is (...)

  Re: BrickOS & BricxCC - coming soon to a Windows PC near you
 
(...) You manage your projects now, I'm guessing, simply by directory structure and the contents of your make file? Do you put targets in your make file which execute dll to download the .lx to the brick or do you usually perform that step as a (...) (23 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: BrickOS & BricxCC - coming soon to a Windows PC near you
 
Hello John, (...) That would be real real great! (...) That should work. At my system, bigger projects are broken into several source files. It is easier for me to work with them then with a huge single source file. (...) Why not? BrickOS can handle (...) (23 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Remotely starting RCX
 
Hello Henk, (...) If you run "dll" without a file name to download, dll will tell you all it's switches. One is the -e switch, that executes the program you download. So "dll -e helloworld.lx" will download helloworld and run it. Another possible (...) (23 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: BrickOS & BricxCC - coming soon to a Windows PC near you
 
(...) My goal would be to have BricxCC work with C/C++ BrickOS programs much like it works with NQC & MindScript programs now. You have a file open in the editor. You press the compile button and it either performs a make without errors or a little (...) (23 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Remotely starting RCX
 
Hello, As an unexperienced unix programmer it took me 16 hours to download and install LegOS on my XP and make the 'Hello World' message appear on the RCX. (Oh joy!)

  Re: BrickOS & BricxCC - coming soon to a Windows PC near you
 
This will be quite nice! I would be awesome if we could package a single "install" that would place precompiled GCC and Binutil files on the drive. That way, the user would simply install some cygwin support, then this program, download BrickOS, and (...) (23 years ago, 5-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: BrickOS & BricxCC - coming soon to a Windows PC near you
 
Could you expand on what you want to do with BrickOS? Something about project files? generating make file? If this has anything to do with having a file anywhere on your hard-drive and having it compile leaving an *.LX file behind, I may be of some (...)

  Re: Speed of IR comms?
 
(...) FYI. The RCX normally runs at 2400 baud, but it is effectively 1200 baud because the protocol sends every byte twice. Markus and I were able to get downloads to run at a true 4800 baud by downloading a short program to hack some registers and (...) (23 years ago, 4-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Build Your Own Lego Submersible
 
Their first book was the inspiration for the pseudo-submarine that I did for the Creative Projects book.
