(...) The URL is: (URL) in the nick of time? The original firmdl.c was dated 10/3/98. It is currently 10/3/99 (PDT at least). This was not planned! Like firmdl.c, firmdl3.c is a single file joined from smaller ones for simplicity. I will link a .tgz (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Whoa. Not so fast. My firmdl3 does the job in 44 seconds, not 53 seconds, so I think firmdl4 is a step backwards. :) Just hold on a bit while I finish packing it up. It is almost done, I promise. The new version (firmdl3) will be MPL. If you (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) I've already got some feedback that this fix doesn't quite work, so don't bother downloading it if you haven't already. I'll post again when I think I've got something that actually works. Dave (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi Kekoa, I herewith jettison fastdl. - added code to remove parity and disable complements to your stub - split up firmdl2 into nice little modules - figured out how to deal with complement-disabled packets - optimized delays, fixed numerous little (...)

We are planning on solving a physical maze (ie cardboard or plywood.) The plan is to use LegOS to allow C (NQC) capabilities. We haven't started on the physical part yet; instead we are concentrating on developing a working algorithm for solving (...) (25 years ago, 4-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I've looked at a couple of traces and it looks like the serial driver just stops receiving data after a certain point. One theory is that something happens (framing error or overflow), which then keeps the driver from relaying more information. I've (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Yes, and that's all I'm saying until Mindfest. Right.... Some time ago, I responded to a maze thread and suggested inverting the problem to make a maze walker that worked on a simple sheet of paper. I have now built a gantry system to suspend (...)

(...) Oops, I meant complements, not checksums, throughout the above paragraph. After reviewing my notes, it seems that the ROM properly obeys the complement flag when receiving but not when sending. When the ROM is sending a "long" message, it (...) (25 years ago, 3-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
