Hi All, After a very frustrating weekend of fiddling with pbFORTH, I caved and asked Kekoa to help with a problem I was having with read_sensor() and pbFORTH. The problem we (mostly he) unearthed has to do with the SP and RCX firmware routines, so I (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| | Re:Solved?? rotation sensor problem
|
|
On Sep.10,I posted the message regarding rotation-sensor problem. I realized that the first threshold value '0x6fc0' in CURRENT_STATE is too small. Some sensors give raw values around 0x7000. #define CURRENT_STATE (raw<0x6fc0?STATE_0:...STATE_3))) (...) (25 years ago, 17-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Well, I'd need to vibrate things while looking at raw values, which is possible, I guess. I could run the gantry, smaple as long as possible and then store the value in an array... Something like: CREATE BUFFER 5000 CELLS ALLOT ( makes room (...) (25 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I think there are some C to FORTH translators at www.forth.org, but the problem is you need to configure them to run on your CPU and then to output FORTH compatible with your target. Not an easy task. Why not just learn FORTH? I learned about (...) (25 years ago, 14-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) There are a couple of reasons to choose pbFORTH over raw assembler... 1. Assembler requires an assembler, which means downloading and configuring the GNU tools on eiher Linux or Cygwin for Win9x. Not for the faint of heart. 2. Once you get (...)
