All, I've been messing with the tower API and have discovered what I think is an error in the docs... Fisrt off, the API help file tells us to open "\.\LEGOTOWERx" In fact, the file name must look like this: "\\.\LEGOTOWERx" Even worse, the filename (...)

Hi, QuiteC's IR facilities are rudimentary. They send and receive single bytes. I need to be able to make it send and receive lego IR protocol messages for opcode 0xf7. I'm not having much luck. When I send a 0xf7 opcode with a message of 0x03 (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, How does the lnp_integrity_byte function ever get invoked? I see it defined in kernel/lnp.c, and I see it referenced in boot/brickOS.lvs. Is there some magic to the number 0x9419 (0x8000+0x1414)? Is the ROM receiving a byte and then calling this (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
