Don, Here is a link that hopefully will help you: (URL) contains the latest patch levels including the beta patch to Robolab 2.5.3 for the Mac and PC. There is not a public bug list. Part of the problem with a public bug list is the Robolab by Tufts (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Don't know specifically about Robolab, but usage might be.

| | Re: Maximum Subroutine numbers?
|

I don't use Robolab, but I can offer some insight into how the RCX firwmare operates with subroutines (and events) that may partially explain your problems. RCX firmware supports 8 (eight) subroutines per slot. Internally they are numbers 0 to 7. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Is there a bug database for Robolab? Unless it's the first perfect program ever written, there have to be bugs. Is there a procedure in place to report suspected bugs? Are they being cataloged, hopefully in a searchable database? (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| | Events in Robolab
|
|
After dozens of hours of experimentation, it is my conclusion that event-driven programming in Robolab is unreliable. Eventually, the RCX stops responding to events. This does not always happen at the same point in a given program, nor is it (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Hi Holger, I definitely know that Robolab 2.5.2 is running in classic mode of MacOS X 10.2.8.

Hello, I just purchased Robolab 2.5.2 from Pitsco and am trying to install it under Mac OS 10.2.

Does RoboLab have a maximum subroutine number? Also, what is the maximum number of subroutines which can be defined? Referring to real subroutines, not SubVIs. I have a program which defines 5 subroutines, numbered zero through 4. It seems like when (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
