  Re: Compiling the compiler
 
(...) I've checked into this a little further. It comes down to something like the following: void foo(const char *p) { delete p; } On one hand, this is conceptually a violation of "constness" as a caller to foo() wouldn't know that the object (...)

  pbFORTH enhancements soon
 
Thanks to all of the mail I have received, I am going to try to get the next version of pbFORTH out this weekend. Charles Anderson pointed out a rather embarassing flaw in the LCD_SHOW and LCD_HIDE routines, thanks. I have been using Dave Baum's NQC (...)

  Re: Compiling the compiler
 
(...) What file are you compiling when you get this error? I think the fix is to include "Symbol.h" before the array templates get instantiated, but it is curious that neither Metrowerks nor gcc complain. (...) Yes, a cast should be fine. Offhand, (...)

  Re: Compiling the compiler
 
Thanks Dave, I did however find a version of Bison and Flex to use under windows. I didn't want to install the whole cygwin distribution so I searched and found stand alone versions of that came from DJGPP. I'm still having a few minor (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Compiling the compiler
 
(...) You can probably use parse.tab.c instead. The whole default/parse.cpp thing is specific to Unix builds. The Mac and Windows builds are done under Metrowerks with custom Flex/Bison plugins. The output of those plugins is in nqc/lexer.cpp and (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Compiling the compiler
 
I am thinking about porting NQC to Windows CE. The first thing I noticed was that the default parse.cpp file was missing from the source distribution. Also, has anyone already created a VC++ project file for NQC? I'd like to get a copy if it has (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  LCD_SHOW & LCD_HIDE
 
I decided to try playing around with pbforth, and one of the first things I try after Ralphs testpb is to turn on the the little guy. So I type 3006 LCD_SHOW LCD_REFRESH and zip zero zilch nada. So I go looking through the code and find that (...) (26 years ago, 3-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

  Scheduler
 
Is anybody doing work on the scheduler (tm.c et al)? I've got some ideas for a minor rewrite and don't want to collide with anybody else's efforts. -- No honest business is promoted by spam with the possible exception of Hormel. (26 years ago, 2-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  A few notes...
 
Ha! Just completed my first LegOS program - and it only took a month! (off and on :) ) I'm going to note some things which stalled me, in the hope that they won't stall anyone else.. (1) I was trying to count how long the sensor was being pressed (...) (26 years ago, 28-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Making Light Sensor Passive
 
I'm not sure what you mean by "making light sensor passive". The light sensor, by design, requires power to work. You can tell the RCX that the light sensor is a passive sensor, but you don't get much range in readings - the phototransistor in the (...) (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I was wondering if anyone knew how to do this in NQC? Thanks, Mike (26 years ago, 25-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  enhancing the motor driver
 
Hi all, I couldn't resist the urge to do something productive after taking the exam today. Dan sent me some code offering 256 levels of power, and I hacked away at it.
