  PIC-RCX half-duplex IR receive and transmit
 
I just finished a PIC16F84A application which receives IR commands from the RCX or RCX remote control, saves them and transmits another command back again. You can put your own command(s) in EEPROM for transmission. The firmware is commented (well, (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: BricxCC release 3.3.7.6
 
(...) You are welcome! I'm glad you were able to get the pre-built tools installed and working. The brickOS root that BricxCC had configured on your system was a result of having a previous installation of BricxCC where I had used that path as the (...)

  Re: BricxCC release 3.3.7.6
 
Hi John, Thanks to your pre-built BrickOS tools, I have finally installed it on my Windows 2000 machine (I tried several times in the past... no luck !). The installation was really fast and easy, the only problem I got was that the default BrickOS (...)

  Re: RotationNavigator accuracy
 
Hi Robert, thanks for your response. Indeed, the main problem seems to be slippage. The more speed the motors produce, the bigger the slippage is and the less is the resulting angle. Probably a tank is bad for odometric navigation. It is a pitty, (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Re: RotationNavigator accuracy

  Re: The BrickOS Task Manager
 
(...) C++ is more particular with types than regular ol' C. However, I think BrickOS's definition of NULL in mem.h is incorrect (as this was causing one of the problems in the execi call). IMO, it should be defined like so: #ifdef __cplusplus (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RotationNavigator accuracy
 
Hi, I just try the rotation navigator class and have some problems with turning accuracy. My robot is a tank with treads and moving without turning works well, travel() moves the correct distance. Turning with rotate() or gotoAngle() is problematic. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Re: NQC's future
 
(...) Here's a suggestion/question: is it possible (either in the current incarnation or a future one) for NQC to use FastTimer() as a source for events? Timer() works, but not (it seems) FastTimer(). (21 years ago, 11-Jan-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
