  Re: HELP! NXT brick flash now read-only!!
 
(...) Nathan, What software did you use to load V1.04? It sounds like there is something in there that set the firmware to read-only after it loaded it. Can you find any settings like that in that software? Steve (19 years ago, 4-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  HELP! NXT brick flash now read-only!!

However, I think I've managed to be the first person to prove that it *can* be done (not that I'm proud of this fact :-( ). A few weeks back, I (...)

  Re: RCX controlled GBC train drawbridge
 
(...) Very slick-looking John. It seems odd that one of the neatest attractions in the GBC may be only tangentially related to soccer balls, but that is a very nice design.

  RCX controlled GBC train drawbridge
 
I suppose this doesn't have to really be for the GBC only, but that was why I decided to build it.

  RE: Spawning threads in NBC
 
I don't know how the NXT-G thread/task scheduler works. Just wondering if anyone has any idea on the impact on execution performance when multiple threads are running?
