  what is a "single byte difference" error from makelx?
 
While compiling my simple battery voltage indicator after an upgrade from 0.2.2 to 0.2.5 (CVS from sourceforge) I get no errors during the build or ld and then: /ibm/legOS/sourcefor...til/makelx battery.ds1 battery.ds2 battery.lx single byte (...)

  Re: newbie question
 
(...) I guess the motors with Lego firmware are only floating and not breaked in the impulse-pause. With legOS you have breaked motors in the impulse-pause. If you would not use legOS try pulsing it yourself with brake an slow. Rainer (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  newbie question
 
I have been playing around with controlling LEGO trains with the control lab and the RCX but keep bumping in to the same problem. I need the motor output to be smoother and slower. This is so I can slowly approach a sensor and stop the train without (...) (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Error creating program
 
What, exactly does it mean when dll says "error creating program"? I run into this from time to time where it will give me this error, but reloading the OS makes it go away... for a while.

  new legOS release
 
Hey, everyone. I've released a new version of legOS- 0.2.5. For the most part, this is a maintenance release- a few small fixed here and there. The one major upgrade (and the best reason for anyone to upgrade) is the new C++ support that has been (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics)
 
  RCX Blinking LEDs: Info updated

  Re: Firmdl3 updated
 
(...) My legOS.srec file, which is compiled with all the default settings, is exactly 21000 bytes long. The calculated size is 8144. Which is sort of in the ballpark of half the file size (if we use a very big ballpark). The proper estimate is (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Release date for RCX 2.0?
 
It seems that S@H is out of the 1.5s and they're becoming scarce in local stores. Has anyone heard of a release date for the RCX 2.0? jt -- James J. Trobaugh North Georgia LEGO Train Club (URL) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.year.2001, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Firmdl3 updated
 
(...) Isn't the actual size of the kernal about half the .srec size? That file contains ascii codes for for hex bytes, a pair of characters would be one byte. Rossz (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Actually, the kernel can hit 21-22K (depending on the compile-time options.) My current legOS.srec sits at 21232 bytes. So, I'm going to do the update.

  transmission distances

With pbForth, the RCX receives the commands over just as far a range, but can only send its "ok" feedback when it is quite close to the (...)
