  ROBOLAB 2.5 (USB) woes with Mac OS 9.2
 
I just gave my son ROBOLAB (2.5, with USB tower, in the Team Challenge set) and can't get it to run on our Power Macintosh G3 running Mac OS 9.2.1. When I bring up ROBOLAB, the "ADMINISTRATOR" button is not enabled, so I can't download firmware to (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: startin with robolab
 
Do you have the building parts to an Intelligent House set? Do you have the illustrated building instructions? Do you have a RCX and an IR Tower? Do you have the RoboLab software? (...) (23 years ago, 27-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Vision Command
 
I would have tried that, but there was nowhere to choose where it looks for the files. It prompts for the windows CD and has only one button, "ok". Clicking on the OK button without the windows CD in the drive does nothing. Thanks QBF (...) (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Vision Command
 
(...) Jason, many of the files are probably in the CAB files on your hard drive. When it asks you for a missing file from your WIN98 disk, refer it to C:\windows\options\cabs. Vision Command works fine with Win98. Jerry (23 years ago, 26-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Vision Command
 
I just got Vision command for christmas. Because I am out of town I tried it on a laptop. The setup required the windows 98 CD. I have a CD with the windows 98 setup but it is not the original CD and the VC setup didn't like it. Is there any way to (...) (23 years ago, 25-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: startin with robolab
 
(...) There are actually two versions of the Lego Dacta Intelligent House. The earlier version #9707 is packaged with the Control Lab Serial Interface B (#2001304) which uses the Lego Logo software. It can also be used with Lego Engineer 2.0 (which (...) (23 years ago, 24-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.dacta)
 
  startin with robolab
 
Hello, Im new with Robolab and Lego Dacta. And I didn't undestand if Robolab can be used with all Lego Dacta products, such as theIntelligent House (with what I'm working). If someone could give me a hand as soon as possible, it would be great. (...) (23 years ago, 24-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Help needed
 
Nowhere ! The Spirit.ocx is included in the CD content from RIS 1.0 and 1.5. It was available at the lego homepage, but it's not included in the LEGO SDK anymore. (Or am i missing something ?) Since the RIS 2.0 has an USB Tower you can't use it with (...) (23 years ago, 23-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

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: 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.
