  bitwise operators
 
I looked thru the doc, it looks like it does not allow bitwise operators like IOR, XOR, AND, etc. Is this correct? Or, I have overlooked something? --thanks Elizabeth (17 years ago, 24-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  RE: determine the degree of turning by using ultrasonic sensor
 
Ok... I wrap every sequence of motion control with mutex. I created a movement macro which basically just wrap the command(s) around with acquire and release. By the way, would someone tells me how I'll find out how the mutex datatype implemented. (...) (17 years ago, 22-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  determine the degree of turning by using ultrasonic sensor
 
Is it quick way to determining the # of degree or some value which will help to calculate the distance travelled. more or less like the x= rotation-click.. Is it a way to read how much the motor has turned from a certain point. - Reset motor/sensor (...) (17 years ago, 22-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Introduction of LEJOS OSEK
 
Hello everyone and special thanks to LEJOS developers, I would like to introduce a new project that is standing on the shoulders of giants. LEJOS OSEK (URL) is an open source firmware for LEGO Mindstorms NXT. LEJOS OSEK consists of I/O driver of (...) (17 years ago, 22-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXC - embedded functions failed
 
(...) I think having NXC generate a compiler error is a great idea. :-) I will work that into the next beta release (b30). I just released beta 29 today. It has a number of important fixes and enhancements but I just noticed that it has a few new (...) (17 years ago, 22-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: pbLua PCF8574 SOLVED !
 
(...) Let me say thanks to Dick as well. I think that the NXT firmware does what's called a repeat start in the I2C definition... Here's the part in the I2C spec that is required: (URL) And with pictures: (URL) Hope this helps... Ralph (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  Re: pbLua PCF8574 SOLVED !
 
(...) Hi Dick, your answer solves my knot :D It's a NXT specific behaviour and all alternatives NXT-OSes which uses original Lego-Source-Lowlevel routines have this feature ? Thanks for your answer Bye Christian (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  RE: pbLua PCF8574 SOLVED ?
 
(...) This is the excepted behavior. When you want to read from I2C device, the NXT firmware first sends a write message to load the internal index "pointer" for the I2C device and then sends a read message that will read the requested number of (...)

  Re: NXC - embedded functions failed
 
(...) This is definitely a problem in NXC. The problem is that the value of arg "a" (33) to the function Max is being replaced during the second call to Max since it passes 5 into arg "a". It looks like I need to figure out a decent way to implement (...) (17 years ago, 21-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: pbLua PCF8574 SOLVED
 
(...) Hi, we solved the problem... Lego-Firmware has own brain and handle read/write with own mechanisms ;-( The last read/write bit is handled automatically by lowlevel routines.

  press button to return to pbLua-Interpreter
 
Hi Ralph, times ago, you have added the function to power off the NXT by pressing the orange button... But: what about implementing a function to break every running code and return back to interpreter ? It is very useful for debugging and (...) (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: pbLua Hardware access
 
(...) There are no hidden commands, but if it's ABSOLUTELY necessary I can add peek and poke for bytes, words and longs. This may be more dangerous than it's worth :-) What hardware do you need access to? Ralph (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  Re: pbLua PCF8574
 
(...) No ideas yet, Christian. I do have a Mindsensors kit here to look at over the weekend. Are you SURE you are sending the correct string to read the registers? Can you post the code you're using for the test here? Cheers, Ralph (17 years ago, 19-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
 
  pbLua Hardware access
 
Hi, is there a way to access the NXT-hardware directly with pbLua ? Are there any hidden commands to allow this ? Any idea ? Thanks in advance Bye Christian (17 years ago, 18-May-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)
