I read over the proposed release changes for 0.2.6, just a few ideas. I recently picked up a second RCX and found it quite difficult to do development using legOS on two RCXs. I might just be missing something, but I had to maintain two seperate (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Basicly, what I want is a button, switch or whatever on my model that when moved one way causes one input to be sent to the RCX but when moved differently it causes a different input to be sent to the RCX. Should also have a 3rd "off" state. I am (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

This looks good so far Stephen. I agree with the time-to-release remarks (although I love to dive in to new code 8-) Also, I like the idea of not updating to a new compiler (as I just got this machine setup and the compiler working well).

I think I suggested this before, but how about Leg-OS. This isn't easily confusable with Lego, and allows us to keep saying "leg os". mark (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

And don't forget: We need a new NAME!!! There is no reference to legOS on the LEGO MINDSTORMS homepage. I understand their reason for this but it would be good for brickOS (formerly known as legOS) to get more popular. Mike (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I'd suggest not worrying about your system being underpowered. If you've ever programmed before you'll probably want to drop the Lego GUI development environment ASAP and switch to something more powerfull. A first step is to try out NQC which your (...)
