Hi,
I am currently attempting to write a program which, when run on my
computer, will accept network connections over the internet and act as a
proxy between the remote user and my brick, which is running pbForth. I am
unable to find, however, any documentation as to what kind of data I need to
send to the brick besides the standard text. Through experimentation, I have
had some success sending a byte of all zeros upon first connection, and
ending any commands with carriage return, newline, and then null, but this
doesn't seem to work correctly when no communication with the brick has
taken place for a while (something to do with 'warming up' the brick?). I
have tried looking everywhere I can think of to work out what I need to do,
including the BricxCC code, and the pbForth GUI code, but I'm not familiar
with Delphi or TCL. If anyone could point me in the direction of some kind
of information about what I need to do, I would be very grateful.
Cheers,
Bob

| I'm not sure what you mean by this. First, are you sending using the old serial tower or the new USB tower? The serial tower required a "warmup" if it's been idle for more than 2 seconds or so. Just send a garbage character (CR is usually OK) and (...) (21 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics)
