  Re: gcc build instructions for linux
 
(...) I got the same message, and your reasoning about the content of the message sounds AOK by me. But then I did a make install, and that crudded out on me, with the message In file included from ../../../egcs-1.1.2/...com.c:198: (...) (26 years ago, 6-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: gcc build instructions for linux
 
I have. I got the same message. I assume it is part of the test suite. I just bit the bullet and did a "make install" anyway, and it works fine. I take it as saying that it cannot generate an executable for the host platform, which would be true, (...) (26 years ago, 6-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: gcc build instructions for linux
 
(...) Has anyone successfully built the above target using egcs-1.1.2?

  Re: FORTH editor/IDE
 
(...) Yes, I forgot to turn it off after first downloading the firmware, and getting called away to do something else. Luckily they were rechargeables... (...) Thanks, I'll try it. I will be spending more time with FORTH over the next few weeks, (...) (26 years ago, 4-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: Ir transmission
 
(...) My next project is to port the IR proximity dectector originally posted by Mark R. David (markdavid@mediaone.net) in sort-of-Spirit code which I reposted in NQC whan I had got it working. It is the best performing detector I have found so far. (26 years ago, 4-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: NQC tutorial available
 
(...) "if (Random(100) == 0)" used to be a compiler error, but version 1.2 of NQC is smart enough to generate a temporary variable to hold the random number. A trickier problem is Sleep(). Sleep(Random(100)) parses just fine. Since Sleep() is just a (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: NQC tutorial available
 
(...) I think Mark is waiting for me to release NQC 1.3 - which is where SetWatch() gets added. In the meantime, you can define it yourself within your source code... #define SetWatch(h, m) asm { 0x22, (h), (m) } Dave (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: NQC tutorial available
 
Mark, In the section on "Display", you mention "Setwatch()" is available in V2.3. Any guess when this will be available? Thanks, -Phil (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: cputs / argc,argv / snapshot
 
Oops. Did I say David? That's what you get for speaking on the phone and typing simultaneously. I meant Dan, of cause! (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  cputs / argc,argv / snapshot
 
Hi, I implemented a cleaner cputs(). Should work with all compilers, also 20% smaller. I went ahead and implemented argc/argv parameter passing for execi as well. This prompted a bugfix for memcpy, which I did create. As I was at it, I also merged (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: cputw
 
(...) By "doesn't work", I assume the patch applied successfully and your compiler barfed with some sort of error message or generated incorrect code. That would tend to (at least slightly) indicate that the problem that I was trying to fix may have (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  cputw
 
Maybe we'd better opt for unsigned char c=word&0xff; cputc_... cputc_... c=word>>8; cputc_... cputc_... instead - your patch doesn't work with my compiler version! This may generate better assembly code, too, as word is already in a register. (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: legOS ...
 
Hi Mark, you might consider joining the legOS mailing list www.lugnet.com. We're currently working on network protocols for the IR device. POSIX compliance is very worthwile. I'm considering to make all devices files. Yes, even sensors. That way, we (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: motor speed
 
Hi Lou, that's great. Markus. (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: NQC tutorial available
 
I have gone through most of the tutorial that posted by Mark Overmars which is extremely helpful. What a good job. Thanks Mark. There is one doubt and two question that I would like to get Mark or other people's attention. When I run the example (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)

  Passing arguments to task
 
Is there an accepted method of passing arguments to a task which is spawned with execi? I have a method which I have instrumented, but it is awkward. -- No honest business is promoted by spam with the possible exception of Hormel. (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Motor Speed Fix
 
(...) I've been busy. I have also added a patch for control of arbitrary motors. (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: NQC tutorial available
 
(...) Thanks Mark. I've been somewhat negligent on documentation myself. I've been very impressed with the dedication of the NQC user community. Originally, NQC was just a hack I threw together for my own use. At first I resisted releasing it (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
 
  TRACKER script for pbFORTH
 
Hi All, I've been a busy man while my spouse is off in Florida. I've been building and programming robots with my two sons, and have got the TRACKER to work! It's basically the same chassis as the TOP SECRET PLANS at the back of the Constructopedia (...) (26 years ago, 30-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics)
