  Help needed
 
Does anyone can tell me from where I can download the file 'spirit.ocx'. Thanks! Yaron Dori (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: RIS2 Upgrade on W95 & Pentium(I)
 
Does anyone know what the .cab file format is like? I mean, if the files are "password protected", does that mean they are encrypted? or does it just mean that some programs won't let you in? (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

  How to make shared memory....not
 
(...) You ask for it, you get it. BUT: It works, sort of. It will not survive any multitasking problems. Shared memory has to be handled by the OS, not by a user program. I split your problem to 3 programs. Program 1 allocates the memory and prints (...) (23 years ago, 22-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RIS2 Upgrade on W95 & Pentium(I)
 
(...) Well, I have a fully functional RIS 1.5 including the serial tower. I got the RIS2 "Upgrade" disk from S@H. It's installer checks for OS and bails when it finds W95. And, of course, the .cab files are password protected, so, none of this (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
 
  I need to borrow a USB Tower.
 
I don't post to these groups very often, being mostly a lurker, but I am attempting to make a contribution to the world of lego robotics. I am working on what will be an open source version of the spirit.ocx. In fact it's been available as an alpha (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: USB, Windows, legOS
 
I tried the patch and still get the error "Error 6 GetCommState". Anyone know what this error means and what I can do to correct it? I would really like to get legOS running. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Storing Data
 
(...) It was suggested by some of my 'c++' co-workers that this was the case (shared memory was available). However, I don't deal with that in my Visual Basic world. They also suggested there were 'unused' memory blocks in LegOS where data could be (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Storing Data
 
(...) As there is no memory management, any memory not on the stack is by definition shared between any threads. Concurrency control is up to you however. John A. Tamplin jat@jaet.org 770/436-5387 HOME 4116 Manson Ave 770/431-9459 FAX Smyrna, GA (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Storing Data
 
(...) What you request is shared memory and shared memory is not a part of legOS. My way to simulate shared mem is to put the two (or more) tasks into one legOS program. Each task is started as a thread by an execi() call, triggered by the user via (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RE: RIS2 Upgrade on W95 & Pentium(I)
 
Well the concern there is that RIS2.0 uses a USB IR tower - which is not natively supported by W95. If you can get USB working, then you might be alright... HTH, James. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
 
  RIS2 Upgrade on W95 & Pentium(I)
 
Has anyone succeeded in getting the upgrade to work on less-than-minimum-requirement PCs? In their infinite wisdom, LEGO has "upgraded" the minimum platform for the RIS. I'd like to be able to run it on my existing machine. Moving up to W98 is (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
 
  LNP: host address
 
Is there a reason to "hardcode" the host address using a define (LNP_HOSTADDR)? Things would be easier for me if I could change the address at run time (when calling lnp_init). Is it safe to replace the defines by a variable? Eric (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Robot Controller 1.3b1
 
I've posted a new version of Robot Controller ---the ideal companion to NQC for Mac OS X users. This version adds several new features: it can synchronise the RCX watch with your computer's clock, it has a new pane which lets you read and change the (...)

  Proximity
 
Next question: Does any one have a proximity routne (code) I can review (steal) using LegOS, a light sensor, and the IR port? I've used the NQC stuff, but now I've moved up to LegOS. I haven't been able to find the right commands for the IR port. (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Storing Data
 
When using LegOS (a most excellent creation, btw) is it possible to store a value and use it in different programs? Actually, I'm sure it is, but how would someone do it? I want to have one program to configure my light sensor, and use those values (...) (23 years ago, 20-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Serial Port (IR Tower) communication procedures with LegOs
 
If you mean standard firmware message, I think you should use my remote control patch for legOS025, you can find them at (URL) luck! Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Shuting up the RCX
 
It is easier to use legOS to instead NQC, and it is more power, very easy to be used. Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Shuting up the RCX
 
(...) Well, you could hack the LEGO firmware. Not easy but possible. Jürgen (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
