 | | Save image word for pbForth.
|
|
Hello, Being bored uploading all the optional libraries to my pbForth system all the time, I’ve reinvented the wheel and implemented SAVE-SYSTEM word. Now I can create many different “saved” pbForth versions and load them at will. The idea is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Does anyone know how to switch the RCX to long range IR mode in PBForth? Dave (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

|

(...) You can use the -raw option for nqc to send raw commands (including the poll command) to the RCX. Not pretty, but it works in a pinch. As for libraries, I'm not sure what qualifies as "cute", but within NQC, all of the RCX communication is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Whatever happened to the arbitrary motor code? Lou had given me the impression (ages ago) that there was a solution for 0.2.0, but I don't see it. Is someone still working on it?

Hi Luis, (...) I rewrote makelx-back - it's called makelx now, and it doesn't require perl anymore. I just didn't post it yet, as it didn't merit a 0.2.2 release just yet. At least in my eyes.
