  Re: Some assorted questions
 
(...) I don't know pre-0.2.3 versions, but now you can find it in `include/dsound.h'. (...) In principle it's possible, but changing the linking scheme involves too much work, IMHO. (...) Use the macro `ds_scale' (in `include/dsensor.h') to get RAW (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Lnp collision under Linux
 
Hi ! I'm having trouble trying to make a Linux box (Mandrake 7.2 kernel 2.2.17-21mdksmp) communicate with my RCX. My ultimate goal is to try and make the PC control the RCX via infrared (so as not to suffer from the RCX memory limitations). To do (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Some assorted questions
 
Hi, all - I was reading through the sources, and I noticed that starting with 0.2.3, there was no dsound_play. Does anybody know why the 8 kHz sound playing subsystem was taken out? That was, IMHO, a way cool feature. Was it just too buggy? Also, I (...) (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Server-side Java -> RCX?
 
(...) I have successfully used servlets to let web-pages and wap phones controll a RCX from the internet. The difficult thing is to communicate wih the RCX, but when that works, it's easy to move logic to servlets. Björn Lundin (23 years ago, 10-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Server-side Java -> RCX?
 
Has anyone figured out a way to have java programs (not javascript) control an RCX via the internet? I was thinking of java on jsp or jhtml pages. Any thoughts or ideas? (23 years ago, 7-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Re: showing my ignorance of makefiles :)

  Re: firmdl3 error - bad ir link
 
(...) In order to warm up the tower, firmdl3 repeatedly sends out some bytes until the tower echos those same bytes back. If this fails to succeed within four seconds, you get the bad link error. I have no idea what is wrong with your tower if (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  firmdl3 error - bad ir link
 
Hi- Recently, I've been getting the "bad ir link" error from firmdl3. I can't figure out what's wrong - I've tried new batteries, different lighting conditions, near/far mode, slow/fast. I hope I haven't fried my tower - could someone please tell me (...) (23 years ago, 2-Jun-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: IR Tower Use
 
If you're using Linux, see if Linux IR tools can chat with a tower -- or if some other RS-232 IR device can chat with a Lego device. I haven't had time to do such tests yet. (23 years ago, 30-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: IR Tower Use
 
(...) The only IrCOMM I know of is part of the IrDA standard. It provides something that looks just like a typical serial port to the application, but underneath is layered on top of IrLAP (packet based link level prototocol for IrDA). This means (...)
