 | | RFC: smaller task scheduler
|

I have been working on some changes to the task scheduler (and therefore execi, kill, killall) and have reduced the size/complexity a bit. I think it is ready for use (although I am going to continue to test it). Here is a bit of info. about it: (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Use a resistor to make one of the states of the switch read less than a full short. Setup as a light sensor. 0 means off 50~ means one state and 100 means another. This is the basis for alot of the touch sensor multipliers. I am sure if you (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

We are now actively deciding what the next release of legOS will be. (yes there will be a name change and, likely, the numbering will change but -for now- let's call it legOS 0.2.6) I've put together a more formal description of what we know today. (...)

I might just be missing something, but I had to maintain two seperate (...) (23 years ago, 24-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)
