 | | New NXC/NBC release is available
|
|
I have released today beta 31 of NBC/NXC. Lots and lots of fixes and enhancements. Some of your code may not compile due to fixes that I have made to the parser. It used to let things get past which it should not have been allowing such as extra (...) (17 years ago, 13-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Sounds like a great way to test. We could probably try the experiment tomorrow. At the moment, the 10 boys in this week's class are more inclined to play "grab the flag" using automonous robots than BT Remote Control. We experienced the 5 pair (...)

(...) As soon as I get ten NXTs handy, I'll be sure to test this. In fact, I may know somebody who could test this (or at least I can think of a place, NI Week, where I might). Very odd. Try this. Establish five pairs, and then establoish a sixth (...) (17 years ago, 12-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Strange indeed, But, that's what we experienced. I have faith that more than 5 pairs can communicate all at the same time. On the other hand, maybe we used up all the channels. Perhaps like in RC airplanes, we ran out of crystals. (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| | binsert question
|
|
Starting with the original NXTGCC source, if I disable binsert in the makefile, the firmware crashes on boot. The firmware development which I am doing will probably increase the size of the firmware by around 20KB, so I'm wondering if I need to do (...)

(...) ... (...) Just to be clear, you got 5 pairs of master/slave NXTs to communicate as pairs? But if you added a 6th pair, then those two could not connect to each other? That's really strange... Ralph (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I've reached a goal this summer. Last week, 5 kids got into Bluetooth and made simple remote controls. I provided two simple NXT-G programs, BTSend on the Master NXT Remote Control and BTRecv on the Robot Slave. BTSend uses the left and right NXT (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
