  Re: Logo
 
I like the "OS". What do you think about doing "brick" in more block-like font. Something like bold (or black), outlined, Helvitica? (...) (21 years ago, 16-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: usb tower failed in XP!
 
After I have done trouble-shooting for hours on my toshiba-laptop, the point of failure seems to be between the ir tower & the rcx...: - the ir tower did insteed install properly... I have verified with the device manager as well. - the (...) (21 years ago, 16-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Logo
 
I noticed there still isn't an official logo on the SourceForge page, so I thought I'd make a contribution: (avaiable in PSP/vector) (URL) (21 years ago, 16-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, FTX)
 
  Yet another NQC spybot API submission
 
Here is another submission to the NQC spybot API. I haven't properly tested this against an actual Spybot but I have compared the NQC output code to what is generated by MindScript and documented in the VPB help file. #define SOUNDEFFECT __res 2 (...)

  usb tower failed in XP!
 
OS: winXP Robolab : 2.5.2 machine: Toshiba Satellite-p25... coming with 4 usb ports and a IR port. Symptom: - usb tower driver installed fine. - I even verified with device manager that the lego usb tower did indeed install properly. Robolab (...)

  Re: disable LNP
 
(...) I actually had already tried this, but couldn't get it to work. Turns out I was having a problem with generating the linker file (genlds). Once I resolved that, it works GREAT! As you may expect, the processor intensive program I've written, (...) (21 years ago, 13-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Doesn't the H8/300 have a mode where you can scan up to 4 channels at once? Ralph (21 years ago, 12-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: disable LNP
 
(...) Mark is correct: I made the following two changes which will cause the sensors to be polled at 1KHz: in systime.c; added "bset #0x5,@_AD_CSR:8"; extern void clock_handler(void); ... sys_nohigh: mov.w #0x5a06,r6 ; reset wd timer to 6 mov.w (...)

  Re: disable LNP
 
(...) Sorry, nothing has made it to an official release. I think Joseph Woolley has some code where he reduced the sample rate to 1KHz (I think). You might try contacting him about it. Mark (21 years ago, 11-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  MacNQC 3.0r2 Release Announcement
 
Hi All, I've released MacNQC 3.0 r2. Bugs fixed are: * Fixed a problem when clearing the score in the Piano Panel. * Fixed a problem in the Raw Data Panel where the results of the command were not getting displayed until the next window refresh. * (...)

  Re: disable LNP
 
(...) Have the changes from the above thread been implemented in a release of BrickOS, yet? (reduced sensor sample rate) I need to D/L a new release, but I don't want to rush, because I know I'll have to make changes to some of my existing code. (...)

  Re: disable LNP
 
(...) Steve, If no IR traffic (of any kind) is occurring, then there is very little overhead associated with LNP being active. In any event, this trivial amount of overhead (in systime.c) can't be disabled. What you really need to be concerned about (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Linked Lists in BrickOS
 
(...) Actually, it turned out that there was some leftover obj or mak files that were messing up the compiler. I purged the directory, and all was well. Thanks for the tip on tabbing. Just wanted to confirm that a BrickOS pointer is only 2 bytes... (...) (21 years ago, 10-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RCX Communications problems
 
(...) the LNP class also uses LLC, it just doesn't implement receiveAck(). (...) You could work ACKs into LNP (e.g. create a LNPReliableHandler), or you could add multi-byte support into and put an addressing layer over LLCReliableHandler. The (...)

  disable LNP
 
I need to write a program that can send and receive messages, but there are times when the program is running, that I don't want to waste processor time watching for messages. Is it possible to switch LNP on and off, while a program is running? I (...) (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Linked Lists in BrickOS

If you install cygwin and the cross compilers using my pre-packaged installer ((URL) and my pre-packaged and pre-built brickOS/leJOS installer ((URL) then you should be able to write your brickOS programs using GNU Pascal.

Like while(System.current...meMillis() < 600000) { // 10 minutes timeout ... } as a main loop instead of while(true){...} Jürgen (21 years ago, 9-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Re: Linked Lists in BrickOS
 
(...) BricxCC can't know for sure what compiler to use unless it can tell what type of file you are editing. It figures this out using the file extension. In order to compile C++ and C code, BricxCC needs the file to have a .cpp or .c extension. (...) (21 years ago, 8-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
