| | Installation of pbForth 1.11 Problems
|
|
Last night I tried to install pbForth 1.11 with nqc (2.02). It beeped like it was installed and "4th" was displayed on the screen, but I could not turn it off. I had to take out the batteries to get it to turn off, but by then, the pbForth was gone. (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) The problem you are having, is that the processor is much faster than a human being... The code will allways tend to see one sensor befor the other, because of the processors speed, unless you can hit them together to within a very few mSec. (...)

| | RCX "locking up" when trying to use dll
|
|
Has anyone experienced the RCX "locking up" when trying to use dll? When I try to download a .lx file with dll, the brick freezes. It won't respond to any buttons and I have to take the batteries out and re-load the firmware. Any ideas why this is (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Check the permissions on /dev/ttyS1. I think the default is for it to be locked down to superuser only. If this is the case, then running nqc from a normal user account would cause the error you got. You'll need read/write rights to /dev/ttyS1 in (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) It's not a race condition, strictly speaking. It's more of a data sampling error. If you run that it a tight loop you will test the sensors hundreds or thousands of times a second.

(...) If I understand your problem correctly, it has nothing to do with legOS specifically. Therefore, I will answer, even though I have no experience with legOS. The problem is, there is a very small amount of time where, while you're pushing on (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | touch sensors - two at a time ?
|
|
I'm trying to build a sensor apparatus at the front of my bot, and it works, mostly. It's made up as a pair of touch sensors. The idea being that if one is activated, it turns around slightly, to avoid the sensor, but if both are activated, we (...) (25 years ago, 29-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
