(...) As we discussed in email, it appears to be the firmware downloader causing the problem. I just tried downloading BrickOS 0.2.6.10 with both NQC 2.5 a1 and BricxCC 3.3.6.2 and experienced growling motors. I then downloaded BrickOS using firmdl3 (...)

(...) Me too. Without any program loaded, it seems to do funny things with the motors. But once I get a program downloaded, it works fine. The only thing that I find freaky is the different values for light sensors. There's hex percentages and dec (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, FTX)

(...) Rob, I've had the same problem with BrickOS. The installation I used came with BrickOS already built. I reloaded the RCX with LEGO firmware and all three motor ports worked fine. I concluded it was a BrickOS problem that I would wrestle with (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Mine have been apart more often than I'd like, too! :-) (...) My guess would be mostly for increased communication speed. With the higher baud rate, the duration of the 2-byte Spybot/Manas packets is halved. This allows for fewer collisions (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) That is the part that really bites me. Are you able to reproduce the error? If yes, try to put out the batteries for a longer time. Anyway, it seems worthwile to have a look at the brickOS initialization code for the motors. If you can (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I've developed an LDCC protocol stack for lejOS. Well, 1/4 of it. It's currently receive-only and only on the RCX platform. It needs another pair of eyes to make sure I haven't done anything stupid or inefficient, as this is only my second Java (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Well, I don't know much about it being possessed, but you should try to divide the problem probabilities in half. Try loading the original lego firmware.

I was writing some simple programs to test out BrickOS last night, and had some really strange behavior. I hooked up a motor to port B and a rotation sensor to port 2. My programs were just testing out various motor speeds and positioning accuracy. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Now a question remains, why did they increased carrier frequency (...) (21 years ago, 23-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
