Hey All, I've talked with several people about this. First, a quick generalization: IMHO, there are two types of LegOS users: 1) Unix/Linux programmers who use LegOS as another platform for development, and don’t really care about building robots.

Yes, rcxTcl is probably looking at the data coming in on the IR and buffering it until there is a pause. I'll check it out this week and send out an update if I can.... How are you making out otherwise with pbForth? Cheers, Ralph (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
