 | | emulego + lnp running without any h/w
|
|
Hi, I have modified the lnp daemon (lnpd) to work with emulegos even when there is no IR tower. It will transmit all received messages to all other clients. This is (I think) an improvement on the patched version of lnpd delivered with emulegos (...) (22 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| | USB Range shorter than Serial!?
|
|
Since I do the whole web-controllable-rover deal with my bot, it tends to go quite a distance. I recently purchased a USB tower from Pitsco and I must say, even WITH the long-range enabled on the control panel, the Serial tower still beats it. In (...)

Thanks to both of you, I was pretty close to my understanding of it, but I did not know about the "new block creation behind the current block" but it makes sense now, if I have any other question (I am sure I will) I will def. ask. Thanks again, (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) This is the indicator that you are using the datalog. It will fill in more of the circle as you use more of the datalog. It's a very useful debugging aid, as you can tell programs to save values in the datalog, and then download them onto a PC (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Re: USB/Serial Converter
|

Somewhere on the LEGO site it says that Serial > USB is not compatable -- If you must, why not just buy a USB IR tower from PITSCO LEGODacta for $30? If you have the SDK 2.5, or even the SDK 2.0, it comes with the driver for the USB tower (in the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Man, this is fantastic. Since moving over to OS X about a year and a half ago, I've been ignoring my RCX (retired the tired/crash prone PC forever!! Running Linux now though) and haven't played with it for lack of a development environment for OS X. (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, (...) Ptr points to the length byte of the first free block (...) *(ptr-1) actually is MM_FREE and is now set to the callers id. (...)

(...) <snip> (...) I've never looked at brickOS code, but here is my take: By the time you hit line 2, you've found a free block that is big enough. Line 2 sets the owner of the block. Line 5 decides if the block is oversized enough to split. Line 6 (...) (22 years ago, 13-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
