  Math
 
Hi What math functions are available under legOS? I can get the usual +-/ and * to work, but not powers or square roots. Are these math functions available and what others e.g. sine, cosine etc? I thought it would be standard C stuff like pow and (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: lnp doc
 
(...) You bet! The legOS HOWTO (URL) now has a LNP section. Unfortunately the table of contents is currently broken, so you'll have to hit Next a lot. The URL to the LNP section is (URL). (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  lnp doc
 
Hi there, I'm quite now on legOS (compiled my first program yesterday), and I'm trying to find a way of using lnp. Is there any HOWTO or reference for the RCX side/the host side ? Thanx in advance. (24 years ago, 10-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Painful details on RCX.pm problems
 
Yes, it does in fact happen more or less often sometimes (though it is usually consistent.) It has been an awful long time since I changed batteries... I'll get a new set tomorrow and take a look at it. Thanks a bunch, John... Luis (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Behavior Control, nee Subsumption Architecture
 
This post contains a simple implementation of Subsumption Architecture, which is now called Behavior Control. If you've read my book, you'll recognize that this code is ported to Java from my NQC and legOS implementations of Subsumption (...) (24 years ago, 9-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: Painful details on RCX.pm problems
 
Luis, I found a half dead 9V battery and put it in my tower. I am getting similar results, except I hang after the first or second reading. Something like: 0) 41 1) 41 And that is it. I for got to ask is it connisistantly after the 4th one things go (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  eToys has RIS 1.0
 
Go to the mindstorms aisle at eToys.com, they have both the RIS 1.5 and RIS 1.0 listed, and both are in stock. Great way to get an RIS with the power jack (and, more importantly IMHO, the "notch" that allows a LEGO wire to be conveniently routed (...)

Luis, I am here. I tryed your code. The interesting this is the first time I tryed it I got the following results with the towwer turning off after 5. But repeated runs of the program dont seem to have any problems. 0) 41 1) 41 2) 44 3) 45 4) 40 (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) You have to use the commands inside of a method, e.g. in the main method. I just tried it and get the exactly the same error messages if I don't put these calls inside a method. If you think you put them in a method, make sure that you don't (...) (24 years ago, 7-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

No, I don't, but thanks for the offer.

  Painful details on RCX.pm problems
 
More RCX.pm stuff in case John Quillan (to whom I'll be forever indebted, if this ever works) shows up. So I have this code: #!/usr/bin/perl use LEGO::RCX; my $rcx = new LEGO::RCX(); $rcx->ping(); $k = 0; while($k ne 10) { print($k.") (...) (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

So, I have some more questions to anyone who wants to answer them :) (John, hope you are listening ;) 1) Do I need to recreate $rcx after a while?

  Re: Difficulty Activating Sensors in v0.2.4
 
(...) Warnings tell, that lines 120,etc are the declaration part of the program and you just redeclare ds_active and similiar functions. My advice is to look for a missing or redundant brace before these lines. -- Marek mbrudka@elka.pw.edu.pl (24 years ago, 6-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
