  Re: IR download broken
 
(...) Yep, that was it thanks. How come it forgot the firmware? And how come the programs stored on it were still working? Very strange. Matt (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: IR download broken
 
(...) The remote only works when the Firmware has been downloaded. Remove the batteries and download the firmware. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Fixed-point Math
 
(...) By all means go ahead. I can write up some explanation as to what they are and how they work, too, once I find time. Also, nobody seems willing/able to write anything about semaphores, so when I write that up I'll see about a little blurb on (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  IR download broken
 
I just tried my new IR remote for my RCX and it doesn't work at all. So then I tried downloading a program with NQC (which I have done for quite a while) and that doesn't work either, I just get "No response from RCX". What's going on, is my RCX (...)

  Re: Fixed-point Math
 
Mike- If you want to, I'd be happy (later- busy this week) to mirror those on the sourceforge site. They look quite useful, and I'll be sure to mention those in the HOWTO (whenever I next have time for that. :| Luis (...) ---...--- "Nobody ever said (...)

  I'm back!
 
I just saw four messages of mine (sent over the course of three days) show up simultaneously in my inbox. I guess my connection to lugnet is happy once again. I did get an error report on one of them, and it looked like some mail server in the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Remote Control Internals?
 
Is there any tech. documentation/FAQ's for the remote control? Basically I need to know what it sends to the RCX. Does it send special opcodes, or regular RCX 1 commands? I don't see any remote control ops documented, like there are in the RCX 2 (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Math
 
(...) Most math functions aren't available. They would require so much computing power, and so few people would use them, that they probably aren't worth the code space in the kernel. You could probably find some sample implementations of pow and (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Fixed-point Math
 
I'm not sure if this will make it to the list, but we'll see. I sent out a message twice and it still hasn't shown up. Anyway, I have uploaded my fixed-point math routines to my web site. This includes simple stuff like multiplication and division, (...) (24 years ago, 14-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I sent this before, but it never made it through. My apologies if this ends up being posted twice. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Strange problem using 2 active sensors at the same time with 0.2.4
 
(...) I don't have a solution, but I thought I'd throw in my experiences. I curently have a robot that uses two rotation sensors, and I've never had trouble with them under either 0.2.3 or 0.2.4. I looked through your code briefly and couldn't find (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Batteries...
 
I use NiMH in RCX/Cybermaster/Code Pilot and towers with no problems. Jürgen (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Batteries...
 
(...) Hi Ciaran, since i've got my RCXs (1.0 and 1.5) I use NiCd and NiMHd without any Problems. Rainer (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Batteries...
 
(...) Use rechargeable _Alkaline_. I initially got 12 batteries and a charger for ~UKP20 (-US30). My batteries spend about 5% of there their in my RCX, the rest of the time the power my kids toys... esp her Duplo trains. Such is life Scott A (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Batteries...
 
Quick questo, which no doubt has been answered time and time again, is it possible to use rechargable batteries in the RCX1.5 ? As I tried and it turned on, went mad then turned off again, so I didn't bother again, but I just read a message where (...) (24 years ago, 15-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Math
 
I received the following comments and code from Mike Ash, whose Lugnet 'connection' appears not to be working at present. Big thanks Mike. I've yet to try it, but it looks OK in theory. (...)

  Re: Charge!
 
(...) I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the same riff as you are, since mine has far fewer notes, but its worth a try... I don't know the "official" key, and I'm doing this without a piano in front of me, but any major chord should do the trick.... C (...)

  Charge!
 
Hi! My FLL Team would like to have their robot sign the "Charge!" bugle cry at the start of each mission that the robot attempts. I'm musically challenged. Does anyone have the note sequence for the "Charge!" bugle cry often heard at Baseball, (...) (24 years ago, 13-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Math
 
Mike, You may have to look at writing your own. I know there's a libmint (integer math) library, but I'm currently at work, and can't check what else is there. Maybe need a libm to put all math functins in?? ROSCO mike mcfarlane (...) (24 years ago, 12-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
