 | | legOS HOWTO announcement
|
|
After much delay and deliberation, there is now a very, very rough cut of the 0.2.x legOS HOWTO at legOS's sourceforge site. There is still a lot to be done- for example, it doesn't mention winlegOS yet, nor does it cover the new rotation sensor (...) (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics)

|

Can't find the email address right now, but there were some questions here a week or so ago about interfacing Java and the RCX. I lied and said that nothing had been published on the web about the Sun Jini demonstration. In fact, there is a link (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

|

(...) I would suggest leaving it simple. For example: #pragma 1 Would reserve var. one. #pragma 1 5 9 10 31 Would reserve var.'s 1, 5, 9, 10 & 31 It's the easiest to see at a glance and would be easy to adjust as you changed your code.

Although I would much prefer to see NQC reserveing the variables for itself, I prefer the syntax with a start and end on it. #pragma reserve 1 3 James P (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I am in desperate need of the winlegos installation file. I have lost my own, my installation is corrupt, and without a correct installation I can't work. Pretty please, someone. /Torkel (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Re: debugging gcc or ld
|
|
I found the problem. gcc hosted on LinuxPPC uses unsigned chars by default, and one of the h8300 support files for gas assumes signed chars. The bug fix was easy, but rather than take a chance on other lurking signed/unsigned errors, I just forced (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I'm trying to get started with legOS but I'm having some trouble getting things to link because I keep getting 'relocation truncated' errors. In order to determine if its ld or gcc that's at fault, could someone with a functional (...) (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?

The fact that in RCX2 the counters are overlapped with global variables has brought about an interesting problem. How should a programmer indicate to the NQC compiler that a certain RCX variable location is to be left untouched (not assigned to any (...) (24 years ago, 28-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I don't know if you could use this with Mindstorms or not (I would assume you could) but it sure sounds cool! It's a voice recognition module.... I wonder how hard it would be to assemble and use.

I made robot using NQC that did this....pretty reliably too. The idea is you constantly send out messages, and when you get close to an object, there's a bit of feedback. This feedback is picked up by one of the light sensors, which is particularly (...) (24 years ago, 26-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
