  Seeking Programming Assistance
 
Hi, my name is Jude Tomasello. I am a US Army civilian and am currently taking a class in which we are involved in using the Lego Mindstorm as a simulation for an unmanned ground vehicle. Because of its versatility, we are using NQC instead of the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Minor bug in DCP sound sensor support
 
Yeah, I noticed this in China at one of the first workshops there... and of course I hadn't tested the demo beforehand, so I had to quickly rewrite it with forks. This was back around April 15. (URL) :) -Ben (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Some time ago I asked the powers that be at lugnet to change the links, and never heard a word from them about it. Maybe it is time to hassle them about it again.

  LinuxPPC success
 
Well, Dave's advice worked like a charm. Thanks, Dave! It seems like this would be a good thing to add to the HOWTO, although who knows how many other people want to use legOS on LinuxPPC.

  LugNet links
 
Hey, everyone. I was just checking out the lugnet page, and was thinking it might be a good idea to update the LegOS links. Perhaps include a link to SourceForge, and fix the HOWTO link. What do you think? And how does one go about this? ROSCO (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LegOS on LinuxPPC
 
(...) The problem is due to a bug in gcc 2.95. The assembly version of memcpy fixes the LegOS kernel, but all your user programs are subject to the same bug. Until it's fixed in gcc, you're stuck with egcs. Regards ROSCO (24 years ago, 12-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  LegOS + Lego Remote
 
Hi All, I've tried patching LegOS 0.2.3 lnp_integrity_byte's state machine to capture the transmissions by the Lego remote.

  dll 0.2.3 fails on SGI
 
Hello all, My first time on this list... I've been trying to get LegOS running in my recently aquired RCX 1.0. I created an egcs cross-compiler for Solaris. I used this to compile the kernel.

  Re: LegOS on LinuxPPC
 
In article (...) I have had better luck with egcs-1.1.2 rather than gcc 2.95.2. I've heard that there's a problem with the way gcc 2.95.2 generates code for memcpy.

  LinuxPPC gcc errors
 
Ok, I have some error messages here. I'm following the exact instructions in the HOWTO, except for using gcc 2.95.2 instead of egcs 1.1.2. I recall trying egcs with similar results. The make proceeds fine for a while. Then I get this message, and (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

You could use the sensors that came with the Cybermaster kit, they have a built-in resistor so it should be possible to hook up two of those on one input port and by using RAW values see which switch is pressed.

  RE: Expanding the available input/output ports of the RCX
 
Sure you can try using just three input/output ports, but eventually you end up scaling back you designs. Of course, you can always buy another RCX to increase the number of ports, which will throw you back $200. Adding a multiplexor is such an easy (...)
