  Re: legOS doesn't work under NT?
 
(...) computer (...) have (...) correctly (...) I don't think it's the serial port handling under NT, because there are some guys out there who have been able to work with legos and NT without problems, isn't it? By now, I think it could be a bug in (...) (24 years ago, 6-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Which set contains the Temparature Sensor?
 
(...) It's not necessary. The Temp sensor is actually reporting 717 degrees. All they did was move the decimal place. With the 0328 firmware the User Display lets you put the point where ever you want. Need decimal places? Multiply your figures by (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) problems. (...) appears (...) Only thing I can think is maybe the serial port driver does something funny in NT. I'm not familiar with the serial comms used in firmdl & dll, and don't have the source here at work, but maybe this causes the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Is Extreme Creatures Good?
 
I got Extreme Creatures about a month ago when it was last on special at S@H for $25. I guess for the Fibre Optic unit and the collection of parts, it's not a bad price. As far as I can tell, it's the only way you can get the FOS main unit from (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) Series of measurements. I've used it to measure light sensor values while doing a 360 degree turn next to a candle (disappointing, the candle made hardly a dent), and to measure raw values for touch sensors while pushing them slowly, 1/100mm (...)

  legOS doesn't work under NT?
 
I've been using legOS for Windows (Vamos-Wentworth's distribution) both on Windows 95 and Windows 98. Due to some reasons, I'll have to use a NT computer from now on (I'm the administrator). I installed everything, even the long filename support (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

For example, AddToDatalog(Timer(1)) adds the current value of Timer 1 to the log and also stores that this entry came (...) (24 years ago, 5-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Sharp GP2D05 Infrared Ranger and the RCX
 
Hey, my GP2D12 just showed up. I ordered it from Acroname. It comes with a nice little booklet with details on how to rig it, and it even has some Handyboard code and interface info. I have test equipment in my lab too. I'll plug it into a power (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: IRPD sensors and LegOS (long)
 
OK, the IRPD rover just smarter. I had an error in the comments in the previously posted version, references in the initial comments about the Right Side Motor being hooked up to Output B were incorrect, it is actually hooked up to Output C.

  Re: Dave Baum's scanbot w/ bumper?
 
(...) The problem is subtle. Scanbot (at least scanbot2.nqc) assumes that the drive motors are always running. It only alters their direction during steering. In your code you call OnFor(), which turns on the motors, waits a specified amount of (...) (24 years ago, 4-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: The datalog
 
(...) Each call to AddToDatalog() uses up one "point". Each point takes up 3 bytes of memory: a 1-byte code for the source of point (sensor, timer, etc), then a 2-byte value. 123456 is too big to fit into the log. This would either generate a (...)

  Re: Scout poweroff time out?
 
(...) thanks. Comments are always welcome....that's not saying that I'll implement everything that anyone suggests, but I certainly appreciate the feedback.

  Re: The datalog
 
(...) Dave, I have a question about the datalog. In the manual you state that the createdatalog function creates a datalog of x many points. How much is a point? Is that how many unique entries can be made or an overall 'byte' amount? Is a value (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
