(...) It seems that emulegos should be able to handle IR. However, it does not use the lnp-functions that I use, so I presume it is designed to work with an earlier version of legOS. Were earlier versions of legOS (I use version 0.2.3) less likely (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Yes. We ran into similar problems when writing neural network code. Persist- you can write really cool stuff on legOS- we did.

(...) lnp does a checksum and throws away bad data. I think it is a 1 byte checksum so 1 out of 256 errors gets through anyway. There is no retry so timeout and retry has to be handled by some higher level code. (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
