Hi all, I'm writing down some practical work for students that learn computer science. The goal is to teach them how a serial communication works. Therefore, we want them to write a program that listens to serial communications. The PC will send (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|
|
(...) I'd guess it depends on what you are doing. Without a doubt, raw gives you the best sensor resolution. I'd guess that for kids it is easier to think in terms of 0 to 100%. Since you are not a kid, raw is probably better. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Differences between Raw Sensor readings and Light Sensor

Hi, Can someone point out the differences between setting a sensor as Light (or any custom sensor) vs setting the sensor as Raw? Isnt it better to use the RAW readings since it reports a range of 0 to 1023 as opposed to scaling the readings to 0 to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) It sounds like you are having cygwin issues. Do you have a copy of bash.exe in a directory on your path somewhere other than in c:\cygwin\bin? Does your path include c:\cygwin\bin? If it doesn't then you need to add it to your path. You should (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, Yesterday I changed it into "\brickos", but as wanted to download a Programm again today, it didn't work (also only with Cygwin not). So I tried everything, I have also deinstalled BricxCC, Cygwin and BrickOS (perhaps some registry files (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Can you explain a little more what you mean by "sometimes"? Are you saying that with the OS root set to \brickos compiling works for some programs but not for others or are you saying that with BricxCC installed on one computer it works with (...)

Hi, I've again found a way to solve this problem: Sometimes you have to replace the OS root "\brickos" with "c:\cygwin\brickos". Sometimes it works just with "\brickos". I don't know why.

I have heard from a user of BricxCC who has been experiencing the "compile failed: no (or bad) reply from RCX" (or words to that effect) error message when trying to download pretty much any NQC program either using BricxCC or using NQC directly (...)

(...) I am glad you were able to get this sorted out. I should add a note to the readme.txt which makes this additional configuration step for folks who already have earlier releases of BricxCC installed clear. John Hansen (20 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
