Hi Everyone, I just installed the latest version of cygwin, and downloaded binutils 2.12. I am wondering what version of gcc I should download, thanks. Sam (22 years ago, 5-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

What about turning the timer off that turns the RCX power off. What would be the class and method or is it a ROM routine. Thanks, Scott (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

I have found that killing a task which is sending data via lnp will cause lnp to stop functioning. Turning the brick off then on again will get lnp working again. The issue is with the semaphore(s) used in the kernel tasks. Currently there is no (...) (22 years ago, 4-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
