  newbie question
 
I have just got Robolab 2.5 and forgot to order user guides with it. Is it just me, or is it not entirely intuitive? I cannot yet find a way of starting a new project without first opening an existing one - am I missing something? (I have bought it (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: threads
 
Hi again, I'm now totally stuck with this problem. I've spent all day at it, stepping through the code line by line with key presses. I've marked the point that the code appears to hang in left_control_task (). Someone please help, please. Thanks (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Some remarks / questions about Brixcc
 
(...) Sorry about the mixup. I thought I'd tried capturing non-compiler errors with a redirect and it hadn't worked. But trying it just now it definitely does work. BricxCC is already capturing the compiler errors via the -E option. I am trying to (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  BricxCC
 
Hi John, I just got a new computer and tested your program on a AMD 1.333GHz Athon (Thunderbird). It works just great! I thank you for the adjustments/adds in your program as I requested. There is just one question left. Since I use to Delphi, I (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Some remarks / questions about Brixcc
 
(...) Error messages go to one of two places. Errors from the compiler default to stderr but can be redirected with the -E option (-Efoo would sent them to a file named "foo"). Other errors (problem communicating with the RCX, illegal command line, (...) (23 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Robolab and 3rd party camera
 
As far as I know, any functionality that uses the webcam will not work in version 2.5. As a temporary solution, you could use an external program to capture a webcam image, and then use the image loading VI in RoboLab to work with it. I haven't (...)

Hi, I'm struggling to get threads working (in a simple motor speed matching program), the code just keeps hanging up. I've isolated the problem to when I restart the threads after killing them if a bumper is hit in the bumper_task() function. The (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Assembly Language Programming on the RCX
 
(...) When the RCX 2.0 firmware came out, LEGO released an updated SDK ((URL) to take advantage of all the new stuff. One of the new features they provided was a new language called LEGO Assembler (LASM). This is as close to the hardware as you can (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Assembly Language Programming on the RCX
 
I'm interested in programming the RCX in assembly. I'm trying to get total control over the hardware in the manner I'm most familliar with. Everyting I've seen so far seems to use higher level languages (Java/variants of C/etc.) Does anyone know of (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Some remarks / questions about Brixcc
 
hi John, some remarks / question about Brixcc (I used versions 3.3.2.13 and 3.3.3.2) 1. "Watching the Brick" only polls when the window has focus. I use it often in combination with the direct control and then I have to be continously aware if the (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Re: Measuring robot turn angle
 
Wanted to thank everybody for replies. I ended up attaching an 80-tooth gear to the rear axle (wheels are on the front set) after extending the axle. The rotation sensor is mounted on the chassis outside with an 8-tooth gear meshing to the other (...) (23 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: newbie
 
NQC is intended to write programs that run on programmable bricks (RCX, Cybermaster, and Scout). The 9751 is more like a peripheral for the host computer, so you'd need some tool that writes programs that run on the host. I think I've seen (...)

Hello everybody, I`m just starting to use Lego Dacta products and I have one doubt: can I use NQC with other lego interfaces such as the 9751 kit, or does NQC only work with RCX? I need to know that becuase here in the University we still don`t have (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
