  Re: Wishlist for next pbLua Beta
 
(...) My thought would be to aim for a filesystem designed for flash use, like yaffs ( (URL) ). That particular filesystem is licensed under GPL and might be uncomfortably large too, I'm not sure, but it's structured more appropriately than FAT. I (...)

  Re: NRLink reading RCX response
 
(...) You might want to consider using NXC and the standard NXT firmware. Here's some code John Barnes wrote in NXC for reading sensor values via the NRLink: int count; int sensorval; int i; int temp; byte toggle=0; byte csum; byte RCXcmnd[]; /*[0] (...)

  RE: Idea on how to interrupt RotateMotor?
 
Look at the following sample code: ===...=== int shut =0; task x1() { TextOut(0, LCD_LINE3, "Waiting until it sees dark!..."); until (Sensor(IN_1)<40); shut=1; Off(OUT_AC); } task x2() { RotateMotorEx(OUT_AC, 75, 360, 0, FALSE, TRUE); TextOut(0, (...)

  Idea on how to interrupt RotateMotor?
 
Since there is no event in nxc. Is there anyway to interrupt this call via a Off(OUT_AC) in another task? RotateMotor(OUT_AC, 20, 800); I could have used a time Wait after onFwd. However, This will not allow me to get a more previous degree turning. (...) (17 years ago, 3-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  RE: NRLink reading RCX response w/ RobotC
 
There are three steps to reading an I2C message from a sensor. 1. Send a message to the I2C sensor to initiate the read. Look at the program "NXT HiTechnic Accelerometer" in the RobotC sample programs folder for an example that you can clone. (...) (17 years ago, 1-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
