Can I change the parity setting of ther IR tower so that I can use 8 data bit, no parity, 1 stopbit instead of 8 databit, odd parity, 1 stopbit. I want to access the IR tower with a serial port that has only the settings 8N1. (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi John, Now that Dave Baum has given you the control under NQC, how will you manage to work both on NQC and on BricxCC???

Bart, (...) The problem is that USB tower on linux is not supported by firmdl3/dll at the moment. I'm working on that capability now. If I can, my intent is to have it work for 2.4 (user added driver) and 2.6 (built-in driver) kernels. The USB tower (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi Benjamin, When you declare your ISR as an interrupt_handler, GCC terminates the function with an "rte" instead of an "rts". The ROM code that dispatches the interrupt to your function is already doing the rte so your function should not. Here's (...) (21 years ago, 2-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Having fun yet :-) There are a few things you might want to keep in mind when writing ISRs for the RCX... First, avoid calling into the ROM from an interrupt handler.
