(...) I didn't mean to start such a firestorm about this. I suspect, reality being lazy, that it's easier to fix a 'problem' like this in one place (the centralized mailing-list software) and not in a great multitude of places (everyone's varied (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | NQC for Palm
|
|
I'm considering the ambitious undertaking of trying to port NQC to my Palm IIIx. I've gotten the RCXlib running, though the demo program seems to not be able to find my RCX 'alive'. I know GCC can be used to generate Palm apps, and NQC doesn't seem (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Greetings, Chris! Have you seen Mike Kory's BrickRemote? ((URL) His app relies on a physical connection with the Lego IR Tower (serial port) and (I'm probably speaking way out of turn here) also appears to be able to by-pass any need to (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

In what is the most pro-active customer support I have ever experienced, Paul Ellams contacted me and suggested I might beta a newer revision of his Robotics Mover software for the Palm platform. He was suprised that my range using a Handspring was (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.palm)

Graphite could work, and should be safe. I've been using it for model train couplers, which are made from Delrin. It comes in a little tube, and you sort of "puff" it on. Kadee is the manufacturer, and it should be available in the model train (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Oil may work well on turntables, but don't use them for pneumatics. I oiled them with some kind of oil (I can't remember), and now they stick and stutter when you pull them. They seem to operate fine now, but not if they get much worse. I would not (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I think that people think it is a pain in the a$$, as there has been a post on this before, but it has been this way for a long time, and people are used to having to delete senders. I am not saying that I like to do this (I don't), but that people (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
