Everyone, Being fair in the judgement in using a global watchdog flag to terminate a task. Honestly, when I have a multi-threaded process, I have always used a watchdog type of flag, mutex, semaphore, etc. to signal a thread to terminate. I hardly (...)

(...) Well, you may not consider that awkward, but having been able to use the "stop" & "start" task commands in NQC, I do actually consider it very awkward. For instance, if I want to immediately stop some task under the "stock" FW... well, I (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) It is not a rather awkward option, imho. That's like saying breaking out of an infinite loop using a flag is awkward and that it would be better to have some form of stop loop keyword that you could use from outside the loop instead. Is it (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Using a global to flag out of a task is about the only (rather awkward) option I know of. This is one of the things that I really have issues with under the NXT-G FW. (17 years ago, 24-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

On the list were the Lego driver and the (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi, (...) probably some problem with the USB data transfer on your computer, which corrupted the firmware. This seems to occur with some computers, LEGO put out a driver update last year to correct it: (URL) that the ticking sound doesn't (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I've resurrected the "dead" NXT using the standard procedures and my home computer. Perhaps, the computers in the lab where smarter than mine. Mine performed the download but froze up.
