(...) Also see the ACE-II from Trimble which could be powered and output directly to the normal sensor plugs; and can be run slow enough for it to nor be a problem to read. However... you are going to have issues with resolution and reception. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

A big question is if the positioning resolution you could achieve would be worth the cost or effort. The GPS hardware I've seen tell you where you are within a few yards. Unless you can get that down to a few inches what's the point? Plus you still (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

For sometime I have thought that a GPS interfaced with the RCX would be the answer to my navigational prayers. I have not found any information on an interface for the RCX (GPS-RCX or GPS-PC-RCX). I realize that this is not a trivial task with (...) (22 years ago, 11-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Rick, I have never used 'make strip' and have been using legOS/BrickOS for quite some time now. So, if it doesn't work, that should not stop you from continuing. However, with BrickOS, the make strip command now executes 'strip fontdesign.exe (...) (22 years ago, 10-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hello, I finally got make to complete without any apparent errors. At the end of the process, no errors were shown.

Rick, It sounds as if you have gcc working, however, the version of objcopy that you copied from another folder is incompatible with the hitachi h8 version of gcc. You need to have a special version of objcopy that is designed for the h8 (the RCX). (...) (22 years ago, 9-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hello, There is a line under Hitachi H8 tool prefix that goes like this: HMSTOOLDIR=/usr/local/crossgcc.

Some versions of the gcc executables are named h8300-hms-*.exe (ex: h8300-hms-gcc.exe) The Makefile.common, as you pointed out expects h8300-hitachi-hms-*.exe If this is what you are experiencing, then you have two options: 1) make copies of them, (...)
