hi All, Version 1.0 is released and sources are published. Major improvements: - fast sampling ( 1 channel = 50 Hz / 2 channels = 33 Hz / 3 channels = 23 Hz / 4 channels = 18 Hz) - no spirit.ocx required - some bugs fixed have fun with it ! (...) (...)

(...) Thanks! But rather than do things for a single user I opted for: chmod 666 ttyS0 If I'm not mistaken, this will give every user access to Serial port 0 (comm 1).

Hello, The first thing I have ever installed on a *nix platform was legOS on my recently (last week) converted Redhat Linux PC. I didn't really know how this sort of thing is supposed to work, so I did the whole install as root. Of course after I (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I agree with most of Luis statement. I've worked for three years in the embedded software development (for cars), and I think it's quite dangerous to have RCX functions with the same name that Unix ones, because they don't do the same thing.
