 | | Remote control patch
|
|
Hi all. I've uploaded Chris Aquila's remote control patch to Sourceforge. I've included a README, and a user-space module to make using it a bit easier. Just look under the patches section in the legOS project. Regards, ROSCO (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, I have setup a page at (URL) with information on using NQC on the Agenda Linux Based PDA ( (URL) ). There are cross-compile instructions, a ready to go binary for NQC, and a link to a Notepad like GUI editor for the Agenda. Right now, I use a (...)

Great article, Jonathan! That's exactly what I need to get started. Your point about garbage collection (esp. lack thereof) reminded me of a question I have for everyone: Since LeJOS doesn't currently implement garbage collection, it seems there are (...)

| | Re: About IR Tower
|

No matter if your tower is connected before booting, it's not a PnP device ! What's more, a serial port can safely be added/removed because it's just a text device. On Linux, you can easily test your IR tower : echo 'RCX please show me a sign' (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The tower must be connected before you boot the computer. Have you tried using the other COM port? If your mouse is using the other port, swap it and try the tower in that port. Remember to reboot. If all else fails, you need a friend to loan you a (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The green light always is on when I tried to find it, also when I boot PC, I think maybe the IR light is fault, what do you think?

I would replace the battery in the tower again. Watch the green light on the tower as you boot the computer. It should turn on once for a short time and then for a longer time as the boot sequence is completed. Check the cable connections at both (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I haven't used my RCX for a while, I found it doesn't work when I want to download firmware to it today. In fact, it is near non working! The RCX2 tools, nqc, lejos and WinNQC all can't find this RCX, but it can be found in 1% chance even if I put (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Is there a way to do the equivalent to SetRandomSeed() with 1.x firmware (3.09) which--if I understand correctly--is only available for RCX2 (3.28)? Maybe some kind of low level code to set the appropriate memory address? Thanks, Rik. (24 years ago, 22-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
