  Re: Cygnus Installation troubles
 
(...) I don't see how registry traces could affect a DOS program. Did you remove all the environment variables used by cygnus? I have a faint memory of one used by MAKE that instucts whether MAKE is in DOS or UNIX mode, though I don't remember what (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Data capture
 
You need to use level 5 and use the "write data point to set" command. Any command other than this one includes the time stamp as well, which takes up memory. let me know if this works for you. (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Opening RCX Code programs in Web Browser gives text
 
(...) it surprised me, since i dind't know that rcx code was text... (robolab sure isn't text) and yes, i realize that the browser has no lego-awareness and that a similar effect can be seen with some text editors. i still think its cool. (...) yeah (...)

  Re: Opening RCX Code programs in Web Browser gives text
 
(...) That is not very surprising, as RCX Code is text. So there is no LEGO-awareness in the browser. (...) Yes, they did the right thing using text for storage of programs. Jürgen (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Floating-point bug fix
 
(...) Cool. Beans. (...) The normal procedure in this case would be to do a fresh CVS checkout into a new directory, make the changes there, and then do a checkin from there too. But only if you want to be the one to commit the changes. I say pass (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Cygnus Installation troubles
 
I tried your new procedure and got the same result as before. Then I transfered the whole installation (not the zip and tar files) to my notebook. I set the same environment variables on this machine. Then I tried and it worked perfectly. Inspecting (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Floating-point bug fix
 
(...) I committed your changes to the float library a few minutes ago. I think I'll leave the firmdl alone for the moment. I have my source code to that program hacked up (porting to MinGW) and don't want to screw things up. Rossz (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Floating-point bug fix
 
(...) If you want to commit the changes, and if you have the authority to do that, go right ahead. The purpose of my message was to say there is action to be taken. Who actually takes action doesn't really matter much to me. Same goes for the update (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Floating-point bug fix
 
(...) I haven't heard much from Luis or Paolo recently - who are in charge of the legOS project at SourceForge. I can commit the changes if you wish. Rossz (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Opening RCX Code programs in Web Browser gives text
 
I should add that this was Internet Explorer 5.5. I just discovered that this does not work with Netscape... although maybe there is some setting that you can do to make it happen. Of course, I could always link the .rcx extension with launching (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Opening RCX Code programs in Web Browser gives text
 
I don't know if this has already been discovered a dozen times before (I would search to find out, but the text search cgi is down!)... but I just found something cool. If you put a link to any RCX Code program with a .rcx extension in a web browser (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Floating-point bug fix
 
This morning, Kieran Elby sent me a report of a "0 - x" bug with subtraction in the floating point routines, which I fixed. In the process I reread the IEEE specs and decided I could do something simpler for both subtraction and negation. The (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Cygnus Installation troubles
 
(...) I've been working with another person who is experiencing the exact same error. I've made a slight modification to my instructions, but I have not received verification that he has the environment working. Take another look at (URL)What means (...)

  Firmdl3 updated
 
Following a discussion on lugnet.robotics on firmware versions and firmware checksumming, I realized firmdl3 was broken for the latest firmware files (firm0325.lgo and firm0328.lgo). The problem was these files were too big. I have modified firmdl3 (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Mindstorm Recall?
 
(...) Just to clarify, did it have a power *jack* on the unit and not the ac adaptor, or did it have neither? KL (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Cygnus Installation troubles
 
Because I couldn't get the Cygnus solution get to work on Win98 I tried Rossz Vàmos-Wentworth DJGPP solution. Unfortunately this doesn't work too. I followed the steps described on Rossz site. When I tried the first "make" I got the following error (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: looking for programmers
 
Why not invite some FLL teams to show off their robots? Get some kids involved! -Peter Coach, FLL Team #1096: The Unibots (we're in California, so we probably wouldn't qualify... ) "anthony" <huberman@hotmail.com> wrote in message (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: V2.0 will be out in Nov. 2001
 
(...) That sounds wrong. I believe 2.0 was *supposed* to be due out Nov 2000 but was delayed *slightly* due to software problems, because FLL teams were supposed to get the Beta of the software (no, not just the firmware) but we did not due to some (...)

  Re: Mindstorm Recall?
