Ok, well, replying to my own message in the best of internet style... I got impatient and starting prodding. After a few hard resets, I came up with the following: Yes, the Get/SetDisplayNormal() permits you to write directly to screen memory. This (...)

(...) Lots of very cool stuff deleted. Sorry I missed your original message, Jeff. You can write to both the Normal and Popup screen memory and toggle back and forth between which one gets displayed. This code flips between the two buffers for 10 (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks for your response, John. That tip about the dirty flag not being IOMAPpable is very, very useful; I could have wasted a lot of time working that out the hard way.

(...) You're right. IOMapRead and IOMapWrite are very slow functions. They're slow because you pass a character string for the name of the module you want to access; the NXT-G firmware runs through the list of modules looking for a match on the (...)

(...) Is it possible to write in the display popup buffer? So that we can do double buffering? I made some quick tests, but it seems the drawing routines always write in the normal display buffer... Julien (18 years ago, 23-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)

(...) It is possible to write to the popup buffer but only by using the IOMap routine (SetDisplayPopup). The regular system calls which write to the LCD all write to the normal display memory.

| | compilation switch in BrickCC Command Center?
|

Thru brickcc command center, I wonder how to insert a user-defined compilation switch as I want to use it in the preprocessor directives. Input is greatly appreciated. --Elizabeth (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Are you talking about defining a macro via a command-line switch such as nqc -Susb -d -DMYVAL=xyz foobar.nqc or something of that sort? If that is what you have in mind then you can do it from within BricxCC with NQC but I have not yet (...) (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)
