  Re: Blocking The Lego Remote?
 
Hi Stephen, you will not have success with this approach, because the LEGO firmware has no collision detection (especially no collision avoidance !) for their IR protocol. So if you're using more than 2 IR devices with LEGO firmware you will receive (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) non-functional at the moment. Thanks to Shane Seward for reporting it. I've fixed it but I won't have a new release up on my website for another day or two. For now you can work around the problem by using the command-line parameters or by (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: C standard functions with legOS?
 
(...) I've been meaning to butt in on this discussion sometime, but I got caught up in things, but better late than never. The source you refer to is probably mine. I wrote a suite of fixed-point math routines for multiplication, division, and (...) (23 years ago, 27-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  MindScope, watch sensors/vars/timers in a graph
 
hi All, I build an extended PC-scope to watch sensors ans local variables in the RCX. The basic idea came from the program "Mr. Sensor" build by Michael Gasperi. (URL) Mientki (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Blocking The Lego Remote?
 
Problem: I Have 2 Lego RCX's 1 Lego Scout and a Lego Remote. I want to build and operate 2 robots at the same time. One robot out of the Scout being remotely controlled by the Lego IR Remote and the Other with 1 RCX being controlled remotely via IR (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: C standard functions with legOS?
 
(...) An alternative is using fixed point math. There was some posts time ago, with C source for trigonometric functions. If you are interested, I should have links to them, somewhere (or do a `search' :-). bye Bernardo New e-mail: (...) (23 years ago, 26-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: C standard functions with legOS?
 
(...) The cross-compiler is set up to not use standard libraries. This is to give more control over the code produced. Also, many standard functions just wouldn't work on the H8. There is a float library (lib/float), which allows use of floating (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: HELP, has anyone ever seen SPIRIT.OCX events ??
 
(...) I mean the active-X events, like "ondownloaddone". I've never seen an active-X component for which you should enable the events. So I presume spirit.ocx will fire an "ondownloaddone" event, when it's ready with the download. But spirit (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RE: NEED TOUCH/LIGHT SENSOR HELP FAST!!
 
(...) OK, I'll chime in..... First, this should go to lugnet.robotics.rcx, so I'll post it there and leave the reply in build, but follow up to robotics, please. Without sample code, we can't help, but that's a bit much to ask anyways. Start small, (...) (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Have you enabled the events? You need to both define an event and enable it before it will work. --Ian (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  C standard functions with legOS?
 
Is it possible to use functions from C standard libraries with legOS, e.g. sin() from math.h or abs() from stdlib.h? They are a part of gcc, but e.g. math.h seems to produce compiler errors. Best regards. Michael Wisse (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Is it possible to display 2 lcd intergers on the screen at the same time? ie 2 rotation sensors. Thanks in advance chris (23 years ago, 25-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Yet another RcxCC revision
 
Okay, thanks to the input from some of you who have tried my revised RcxCC I have recently fixed a few bugs and added a few more user-configurable options.

  Re: Sensor Commands and legOS 0.2.3

  Sensor Commands and legOS 0.2.3
 
I just installed legOS 0.2.3 under Redhat 6.2, using the RPM's that were linked to in the HOWTO. Everything I have tried so far has worked great, except for getting my touch sensors to work. The documentation I have read said that in 0.2.x one could (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RCX and IR Range Characteristics?
 
hi Ralph, I think I'm lucky. I just did some experiments with a modified IR-tower. The modifications were: the "keep alive trick" from John Barnes and my own trick to add a few more diodes to get rid of the 9V battery. Without a batttery in the (...)

  RE: RCX and IR Range Characteristics?
 
As expected Jeff Hazen and John Barnes sent along a few itmes of interest. (...) Jeff asked if the diffuse cover of the tower had any effect at all. From my experiments, Jeff - the answer is no. John Barnes suggested that the bit-balancing act that (...) (23 years ago, 24-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
