Hey! Does anyone know what signals to send from a non-mindstorms infra-red transmitter to the RCX? (For instance how to send "message 1" to the RCX.) You can e-mail your answers to <kttgrace@eircom.net>. (22 years ago, 17-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

What exactly needs to be done to 'upgrade' DJGPP to work with the new LegOS? Are these same changes required for cygwin? I assume the 'unix' part of this is done by the "LegOS Team", which means it works with Cygwin, but now someone (like Ed) needs (...) (22 years ago, 19-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have found that using proportional timeslicing works great in many situations. It is more forgiving for new developers, since a "runaway" process will not block processes of lower priority.
