  Re: Strange problem using 2 active sensors at the same time with 0.2.4
 
I could send you a copy of the Legos Kernel (legOS.srec and legOS.lds) files I am using and you can see if your code compiles and works better under it (actually I am using a patched version of 0.2.4, a early beta from Luis for what will most likely (...)

  Re: IR download broken
 
(...) It requires batteries to be in it all the time. you get 60 seconds with it off and the batteries out. An easy way to tell is that it has 0000 when you turn it on with firmware and only the little man when it doesn't. Dean -- Coin-Op's For (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: IR download broken
 
So what causes it to 'forget' the firmware. Doesn't it store it in Flash memory? Or does it require batteries to be installed all the time? Matt (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Float?
 
Is it possible to set motors to "float" instead of "brake" in RoboLab? --Jack Gregory (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Strange problem using 2 active sensors at the same time with 0.2.4
 
(...) Unlikely, i've worked on my office machine, 0.2.4 was the first compilation of an legOS on this machine. Later in the evening i installed 0.2.3. Carsten (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Strange problem using 2 active sensors at the same time with 0.2.4
 
I also have a LegOS 0.2.4 program that uses two rotation sensors on input ports 1 and 3 as well as another active sensor (the Technostuff Dual IRPD sensor) on port 2. All work flawlessly, no counter drift noted on the rotation sensor. Perhaps it is (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Fixed-point Math
 
(...) That's true. However, IMO, man pages are good for reference but not good for first-time learning. A quick tutorial with a couple of simple code examples might be nice. I didn't have too much trouble with the man pages, but I *did* have trouble (...) (24 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  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)

(...) 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 (...)

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.

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)
