  Re: Deleting Programs
 
(...) If you mean wiping the firmware, press ON and Prgm at the same time. If you want to delete individual programs, I've cooked up a little C code (on the PC side) to do that. It requires liblnp and lnpd. If you want, I'll post it or e-mail it to (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Makefile command to make *.map files
 
I had a similar problem with the "sort" program apparently not functioning and then someone kindly looked at my error output and pointed out that I should make sure that the CYGWIN bin path was added to the FRONT of my path as declared in my (...)

  Re: RCX as a PGP engine
 
(...) Even if it needed FP, legOS supports that. (...) Well, maybe. Maybe not. legOS has a random() function, right? Once the TCP/IP patch is stable, why not use an RCX as an echo server with built in en/decryption? You could just telnet to it, type (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: BricxCC release 3.3.4.2
 
(...) First, you are doing a great job! The support for pbForth is a good idea. And there is only one thing to make BricxCC better, if someone port it to Linux. Best Regards Joerg (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Attention cygwin and windows users
 
Quoting Ed Manlove (emanlove@ieee.org): (...) If we actually get to the point of doing another release (and thus finding a maintainer for the project, etc) maybe this is something we should consider integrating? Anyone else building on Cygwin and (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Attention cygwin and windows users
 
For those using the cygwin tools under a windows OS as described in the article "LegOS 0.2.4 - Instructions for installing on NT/Win9x with Cygwin" you could be experiencing a conflict with dos and cygwin tools. In particular is you are following (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Makefile command to make *.map files
 
For clarity I am running under Win98 using CYGWIN tools as outlined by the instructions "LegOS0.2.4 - Instructions for installing on NT/Win9x with Cygwin".

  Re: Makefile command to make *.map files
 
Quoting Ed Manlove (emanlove@ieee.org): (...) I can't speak for absolute certain about this, not being familiar with that part of the code, but sort -u is used to unique a list of strings. That is, if you pipe a file: spam spam spam eggs through (...) (23 years ago, 8-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Makefile command to make *.map files
 
What is the sort command doing in the command to create *.map files within the Makefile.kernal? # how to make map files %.map: %.coff $(NM) $*.coff | sort -u > $*.map Doing my build I get the following error and the resulting map file has size zero.

  BricxCC release 3.3.4.2
 
I've just released a new version of BricxCC. This release add support for downloading non-standard firmwares (such as pbForth). I've also added support for several languages other than NQC with user customizable syntax highlighting. These languages (...) (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: binutils?
 
(...) It has several useful things in it, but the one most important for legOS is probably the linker, ld. ROSCO (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  binutils?
 
when i first got legOS up and running i used rcx-egcs-1.1.2-1.i386 rcx-egcs-c++-1.1.2-1.i386 rcx-binutils-2.9.5.0.22-1.i386 i'm assuming the first two are the c and c++ compilers, however what is the function of the binutils? thanks (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  backing up programs
 
Hi, I have a couple of RCX's and was wondering if anyone has done any work on a way to transfer a program from one rcx to another in the case of a battery failure, etc. instead of replacing the rcx in the robot with the other one. thanks (23 years ago, 7-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: exponents, e^
 
i tried the lejos environment and found the exponent and trig functions worked very well. and they work with doubles. so if anyone is having trouble with using trig, log, exp functions in legOS, you might want to try lejos. plus it was easier to (...)

  Re: exponents, e^
 
(...) Only one I can think of off-hand is support for the remote control, I've been thinking about looking at that if I can get some time (though it's still only a patch in legOS, have to do something about that, too). There may be others I don't (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LeJos threads / sleep() takes too long
 
Hi Bart, (...) if you mean LISTENER_THREAD then that sounds plausible. (...) Yes, LISTENER_THREAD has maximum priority, so it runs before any threads of lower priority, even yield doesn't help. (...) Yes, I think we'll have to fix that somehow. (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: ForthPad v0.9
 
I'm re-posting this message at the lugnet.robotics.rcx level in case anyone missed it. I've put together a stand-alone application which I am calling ForthPad. It is a Windows executable which should run on any version of Windows from 95 on up. It (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: ForthPad v0.9
 
(...) The firmware downloader built into BricxCC is a port of Dave Baum's NQC code to Delphi. It calculates the checksum up to a length of 0x4C00. The limit of 0xCC00 is based on the sum of length + start (where start is = 0x800). John Hansen (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: exponents, e^
 
you know i was looking at lejos, java for RCX, and it seems to have exponents, trig, etc. functions built in. any advantages legOS has over lejos i don't know about. if not, i think i may give it a whirl.... -dave (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
