Does anyone have any code that implements semaphores and shows where they might be useful? That is one place that the documentation seems a little weak. Thanks, Sam (22 years ago, 9-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

The GUI version is 2.1.0. The pbForth version (COLD) is 2.1.2. I am using the USB tower with RIS 2.0. Once the RCX stops responding, if I pull out a battery and re-upload the firmware, the RCX will respond again to the same GUI session. In other (...)

Ok, I have gotten myself confused again. 0-0.32mA represents a voltage dropbetween 0 - 3.2 volts. Therefore the voltage that the RCX "reads" on theA2D is between 5 - 1.8 volts (1023 - 368 RAW)? To get a reading of 0 (RAW)it seems as though you would (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I believe any data source (not just timers/sensors/variables) can be used in SetUserDisplay. The big limitation is that local variables cannot be used since the display is updated in a global context independent of the tasks. If you know of data (...)

Oops. Looks like a bug in the NQC API file. I just fixed the bug in the NQC source, but it's not major enough to warrant a new release yet. In the meantime, you can add the following lines to the top of of your source file as a work-around: #undef (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hopefully this isnt a silly question. Does anyone know how to covert a float to an integer? It doesn't appear that the function atoi exists. Michael. (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

No, the RCX knows nothing about the diodes. That is why devices like the light sensor only send a current signal in the range 0 - 0.32mA back to the RCX. This current then creates a voltage drop across the 10k reference resistor with respect to the (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
