I am thinking about porting NQC to Windows CE. The first thing I noticed was that the default parse.cpp file was missing from the source distribution. Also, has anyone already created a VC++ project file for NQC? I'd like to get a copy if it has (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I decided to try playing around with pbforth, and one of the first things I try after Ralphs testpb is to turn on the the little guy. So I type 3006 LCD_SHOW LCD_REFRESH and zip zero zilch nada. So I go looking through the code and find that (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Is anybody doing work on the scheduler (tm.c et al)? I've got some ideas for a minor rewrite and don't want to collide with anybody else's efforts. -- No honest business is promoted by spam with the possible exception of Hormel. (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Ha! Just completed my first LegOS program - and it only took a month! (off and on :) ) I'm going to note some things which stalled me, in the hope that they won't stall anyone else..

| | Re: Making Light Sensor Passive
|
|
I'm not sure what you mean by "making light sensor passive". The light sensor, by design, requires power to work. You can tell the RCX that the light sensor is a passive sensor, but you don't get much range in readings - the phototransistor in the (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

It's Doxygen. (URL) doc++ is also a viable alternative, but I've used doxygen before in Qt-based projects, where it is clearly superior. (26 years ago, 23-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

At least as far as CE is concerned, you need at least 8Mo to run a java VM. This is due to the size of the classes however. On the other hand there are smartcards which have an embedded VM cf: (URL) believe the VM can probably develloped but the (...) (26 years ago, 22-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
