  Hello World !
 
Hello everybody. I’ve been fooling around with BrickOS in the last few weeks, becoming familiar with it. BrickOS is very cool. Thank you, those who have made it what it is, and thank you, those who help out those with the common problems (yes, I had (...) (21 years ago, 8-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Stef, I have added a link to your page in my 43362 motor disassembly stuff (URL) also wanted to thank you for your great Mindstorms sensor pages, especially this one: (URL) do you know a web translation tool that can do Duth to English or (...)

  Re: Does RIS2.0 set use the fiber optics cable?
 
(...) The USB tower can be connected to the Scout and MicroScout bricks with the FO light tube contained in the RIS2.0 set. Have a look at WinVLL: (URL) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.vll)
 
  Re: Does RIS2.0 set use the fiber optics cable?
 
(...) I think it is supposed to connect the USB tower to something, notice the hole in front of the LED that is used in VLL mode. That something might be a CodePilot, MicroScout or Spybotics brick, but I never tried it. Jürgen (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: The BrickOS Task Manager
 
IIRC the issue was that Task, Process and Thread were all used to represent the same item/concept in the Kernel code. After some discussion, it was decided that the word Task would be used in all cases. This improves readability, etc... (ie. Task (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Sensor Power
 
(...) Take a look at the functions ds_power_on() & ds_power_off() as defined in the dsensor.c kernel file. When you've set the sensor to passive mode, you should be able to manipulate the sensor power bits using these functions[1] or just use the (...)

  Re: Motor Display

  Re: RCX low battery indicator problem
 
(...) I've tried the RCX2 firmware (firm0328.lgo). Same results: after downloading the firmware the RCX beeps (low battery signal) and is locked. In BrickOS when I read the battery sensor and write it's value on the display it says 620 (mV, Ithink) (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Sensor Power
 
ok, I have a real question. I'm interested in sending messages between RCXs using only the sensor ports. I've tested and found by switching between active and passive, signals can be sent, however, when the port is set to active, it is not powered (...)

  Motor Display
 
For some silly reason, I was browsing through the BrickOS code and I noticed this: void motor_a_dir(MotorDirection dir) { dm_a.dir = dm_a_pattern[dir]; dlcd_hide(LCD_A_LEFT); dlcd_hide(LCD_A_RIGHT); if (dir == fwd || dir == brake) (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
