  Re: patch for lnpd ( Collision problem in far-mode )
 
(...) Michael, have you rebuilt lnpd with the transceiver.c i sent you ? The collision problem should completely go away then. I could also send you a statically linked version of my latest version of lnpd, just to check it isn't a compiler problem. (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: OS Recommendations
 
(...) well, actually legOS wasn't ported, because legOS is an OS for the RCX. What was ported to windows, but AFAIK mostly not by the legOS developers, was the compiler used to build legOS, speak: gcc for the Hitachi 8300 processor. Additionally (...)

  Re: OS Recommendations
 
(...) Actually, NCQ on the mac just works fine. LegOS works fine under FreeBSD which works and install's fine under the VirtualPC (Just from a walnut creek cdrom). Linux works fine under the VirtualPC as well, but none of the install disk's I tried (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  OS Recommendations
 
I got my Mindstorms this summer, and I've been subscribed to the list since around the same time. Since then I've been playing around extensively with NQC. I haven't attempted to make the jump to legOS so far for two reasons. First, I have a Mac. (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: patch for lnpd ( Collision problem in far-mode )
 
Thanks for you help Martin. I tried the uart stuff with no change except for this: From further testing I realised that the data that the IR Tower is sending is been recieved by the RCX (woohoo) even though a collision is reported for every sent (...)

  Re: (Slightly Offtopic:) WinAmp remote control via IR Tower
 
Well! A kind soul pointed me to: (URL) has a neat Winamp plugin that allows the program to be controlled by the serial port. Now I just need to convince the IR tower to play nice with others. The plugin tries to open Com 2 (where my tower's plugged (...) (25 years ago, 17-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: legos: Using dll with COM2
 
Both firmdl3 and dll should honor the environment variable RCXTTY. On Unix, you should probably set it in your .bashrc or .profile, like this: export RCXTTY="/dev/ttyS1" On Windows, you'll want to put this in your autoexec.bat: set RCXTTY=com2 Hope (...)

  legos: Using dll with COM2
 
Hi! How does one configure 'dll' to work with the tower connected on COM2? firmdl has a command line option, but I cannot find one for dll.... thanks for any help Vlad (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  EGCS v. GCC
 
Why was egcs chosen over gcc? It is my understanding that the egcs extensions have been incorporated back into gcc as of version 2.9.5. Also, egcs development has been discontinued. I'm curious because I am working on a DJGPP (32-bit DOS) port of (...) (25 years ago, 16-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: size of programs
 
Dave, How about doing the total and including it in the code listing? That way those of us that use RcxCC will be able to see it for more than a flash on the screen.

  (Slightly Offtopic:) WinAmp remote control via IR Tower
 
Okay. No rotten tomatoes, but this post is slightly outside the scope of this newsgroup. However, I really think that the interest in a question like this is going to be high, so here goes.
