Dave, I like the idea of teaching how to solve certain problems both with multiple threads and with a Finite State Machine. Adding "switch" would be great! Personally I think that a plain 'C' FSM using switch can be made to look very clear if (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The problem is that 1.5, does not have the vbx file to allow these to work. You have to get this from a version 1 system. (...) 1.5, adds quite a few useful pieces, but loses a few others. Having '1' upgraded, gives you the best of both (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Adding a switch statement to NQC would certainly help make implementation easier...I'll see if I can work it into the next release.

firmdl3 doesn't work for me. Normally the rcx shows numbers up to 24 or 48, then counts back up very quickly, then after a while the program quits.There was only once where it might've worked. I also tried slow, but that stops right after mode=slow. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Vlad, The Finite State Machine is a good subject for people to consider in robotics, especially in coding the typical 'looping forever' Rcx applications. Lots of regular 'C' FSM's are implemented with a State variable and "switch" statements, or (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

That's exactly what i did: egcs 1.1.2 with Mumit Khan's patches for windows and Markus' patch for enhanced RCX interrupt support.

No! No! I mean, yes, do try it again (someone), just not with 2.9.5- there have been reported problems with 2.9.5's treatment of assembler. Rebuild it with 1.1.2 + patch- that is known to work. Then let me know- I'll host it for you. -Luis (...) (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
