Hi all, How do I turn OFF the auto shut off function of the RCX? I'd like to write a program which contains some long (1hr) delays. Thanks for replies, MTapsak (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This might sound a bit silly, but it could be your electric cables. I also have a bunch of motors (most are 3-4 years old, one is 7 years old) and I use quite a bit. As far as I have noticed, they haven't had any problems. However, I have (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Rob, Did you ever get any answers to this query? I also have three of the newer Technic motors that have seized. (Out of a collection of about 10 motors that's a 30% failure rate - not good!) I suspect that this may occur with lack of use rather (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

(...) Good idea. I saw I didn't paste the definition of RESET_BUTTONS into the message. Inside the interrupt handler, the Program key hides the Run key. So Program+Run=4 and Program+View+Run=6. If I read the docs correctly this is not the normal (...) (24 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Ersnt, Thanks for this tip. I was contemplating using some kind of interrupting switch to the batteries, this is much better. I might make it accept a parameter which is a mask of the keys to press for the reset function. I'll integrate this (...) (24 years ago, 31-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| | A reset key for pbforth
|
|
Hi all, as I am one of those people who cannot remember the order of the arguments to DUMP, I wrote a simple interrupt handler to use RUN as a reset key (like ctrl-alt-del on a PC). Comments are welcome here, or by email. Ernst Include the following (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hello, (...) No they don't have a separate address space. I think the limit is 19456 bytes for the kernel, and this is caused by a limitation of the ROM, which is used to download the firmware (kernel). It loads it to the address range 8000-cc00. (...)

Yes there is a constructopedia for RL. It is included in the Team Challenge building set, not the activity pack. The activity packs are sets of activities to implement in the classroom. The building sets either include step-by-step building (...) (24 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Ciaran- To the best of my knowledge, no one has written such an interface. If you want to tackle it yourself, I'd suggest looking at pyLNP (URL) and the two Java interfaces that my lego + linux howto will soon list: (URL) imagine that with the (...)
