  dll error deleting program
 
Hi all. Yestaday I installed brickOS-2.60 and compiled it with gcc 3.2. Downloading the firmware with firmdl3 works great but I cannot download any program with dll getting the usual "error deleting program". Maybe is a problem with LNP and dll (...)

  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) I am admittedly biased toward BrickOS; however, I am wondering if you attempted to free some memory in BrickOS by disabling features that you didn't need? If you are only going to run one program (whether single threaded or multi), you can (...) (21 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) I think most people seriously underestimated how hard building the robot would be. The funny thing is, all of rtlToronto's events have the same general premise: Build a robot that does something. Second, if you can make the robot do it well, (...)

  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) NQC compiles not quite C code into LEGO firmware opcodes. You download the .rcx result, and LEGO firmware interprets the program. This makes it slow. QuiteC and brickOS both use H8 native C compilers that spit out H8 assembly code directly. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) Forgive a clueless question here, but is QuiteC different than NotQuiteC? If so where can I learn more about it? Thanks! The oldest mention of the term "QuiteC" I could find on LUGNET was only 3 weeks ago but MAYBE I'm searching wrong? see (...)

  Re: C$ - Code Only
 
(...) Folks who read rtlToronto can skip this part. I added it because I'm cross posting to robotics.rcx. For those who don't know, rtlToronto had a contest with robots playing Connect Four. Creating a robot for this is double faceted. Getting (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) One other thing you could try is to physically disconnect and then reconnect the USB tower from the system. I've found that (on Win98 at least) the driver sometimes freezes up and won't open until after I do that little dance. Also, you could (...)

  RE: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Yes, I escaped the characters. The identical code works on the Win2K machine and does not work on the win98SE machine with identical LEGO drivers installed. Hmmmm Ralph (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Did you escape the backslashes in the C string? CreateFile("\\\\.\\LEGOTOWER1", GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0); Just a thought... it's easy to forget sometimes. Mark (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  RotationNavigator again, does it have a bug?
 
I have another problem with the RotationNavigator class. I try to program a navigating, behavior controlled robot. At the moment it has two behaviors: behavior1 (b1): moving to a specific point with gotoPoint(...) and back to the starting point with (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Ralph, I retried it with a Delphi-program that I wrote some time ago. This opens "\\.\LEGOTOWER1" without any problem: ... const DEFAULT_PORT_NAME = '\\.\LEGOTOWER1'; ... function USB_Open():Longint;stdcall; var hFh:Longint; begin (...)

  RE: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Claude, I've written a little C program that tries to open "\\.\LEGOTOWER1" and on otherwise identical computers (except one is running Win98SE and the othre runs Win2K) only the Win2K machine can open the file. Of course, the LEGO tools work (...) (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
(...) Right with \\.\...., but at least with Win98SE the port is correctly found. Great to here you Ralph. (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

  Re: QuiteC IR interfacing to lego firmware IR
 
(...) It is my conclusion that QuiteC is not receiving back to back IR bytes fast enough, and that characters are lost. Kevin (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  LEGO Tower API and Filenames
 
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 (...)

  RE: Problem with rcxTcl.exe and the USB IR tower
 
(...) I fanlly got a spare machine with a fresh Win98 install, and then I installed the LEGO tower driver. Sure enough, rcxTcl.exe does not find the USB tower.... So I have some investigating to do. Ralph (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  RE: QuiteC IR interfacing to lego firmware IR
 
(...) Not knowing EXACTLY what is going on with QuiteC, I can only offer some suggestions.... The 0x55 to 0x5D might just be IR warmup goofiness. As far as I know, the RCX really only looks for the FF 00 Not sure what happened to the F7 and 08, but (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
