Well, I've gone and run out of memory with my RCX. It manifested itself in a task that refused to run, presumably because the OS couldn't allocate enough memory for its stack. Took a while to track down and was annoying, but it was my own fault for (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | LNP Questions
|
|
I've been doing a lot with LNP lately, and I have a few questions. First, the lnpd package I have says in the readme that there is a bug in the legOS kernel with sending LNP packets from multiple tasks. Accordingly, all of my LNP-sending functions (...)

Time to jump in.... The FOS uses a small surface mount LED. It's about 2.5mm x 3 mm and mounted to a thin PCB. There are what look like diodes and what I would guess are current limiting resistors on the board also, so good luck trying to have (...)

I think what you're looking for is the MIT handy board. Take a look at (URL) is a 68HC11 Micro controller with expansion boards, servo outputs, digital outputs, lot's of neat stuff. An assembled and tested handy board is about $299. There is a (...) (24 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
