Sorry about that, Jonathan. I didn't think that there was any legOS code in Dave's book, but I didn't want to argue with someone who had read it more recently or more thoroughly than I had (which, honestly, wasn't very much, since I don't do NQC.)

Thanks a lot Dean - works perfectly. A good trick - and so evident that I am a bit frustrated not to find it out by myself ... ;-) But this is what friends are for (was it Whitney Houston who sang that?) Bernd (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Thanky Dave for your reflections concerning the timing. The thing that caused some astonishment and a little bit of frustration is that the RCX is so slow. O.K. - the code sent to the RCX is interpreted and this needs some time. However, I was (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I want to have a clear picture of Remote Control, I hope people can send it to me if you have. Br Zhengrong (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Monitoring is automatic (done by the firmware). Monitoring stops when control leaves the monitor statement, so something like this: while(true) { monitor(EVENTS) { } catch { } } will miss a lot of events. You need to configure the events using (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I wouldn't expect Wait() to be very precise. I haven't looked at the firmware in great detail, but generally when writing this sort of thing you set up timing chains.

For the record: _The Unofficial Guide to Lego Mindstorms Robots_ was written by me, Jonathan Knudsen. I'm pretty sure this is the book you're using, since it has the Hank robot in it. As you've observed, the legOS code is for version 0.1.7, and the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
