(...) I'm using AutoLink.Send for most things. Initially I was always closing the link at the end of each method (which mostly map to the Spirit OCX API). I've made that configurable and at present I'm running with it set to leave the link open. (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I looked into this a bit more and the poll bytecode (0x12) didn't have a case in the PredictReplyLength() switch. If you add... case 0x12: // poll return 2; then poll will be a lot faster. If you run into other bytecodes that you use a lot, (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

The retry timing for RCX_Link uses a dynamic backoff, which is a good general purpose solution if you're going to be sending lots of packets (like a typical NQC download) and the latency through the serial driver is unknown and/or unpredictable (...)

This is more a general RCX communication question, actually. As I mentioned here previously, I've ported the NQC communication code to Delphi for the purposes of modifying RcxCC to not use the Spirit OCX. At present I have a version of RcxCC that (...)

My only concern with these proposed changes is possible increased memory usage. Encapsulation, error reporting, thread synchronisation etc are nice; but with just 32k of RAM I would question whether these are appropriate for some applications. For (...)

I hope you can solve your problem; I would be very interested in finding out how you did it. I also would like to upload large chunks of data from the RCX to calibrate the light sensor for example. (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) These seems to me good ideas. Adding errno would also be useful. bye Bernardo New e-mail: dibbe@freestation.it (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

In using legOS, I've found that many of the design decisions seem somewhat backwards, and I think that this is due to a desire to keep the interface as similar as possible to NQC. I was wondering what people would think about changing the core API (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I just checked in a change to CVS which adds a new feature.
