  Re: LNP: No connection between PC and RCX
 
Nobody, who can help me??? I wondered if it could be a problem that I used gcc 3.3 (Suse Linux 9.0) to compile everything, and made the crosscompiler with a gcc2.95 packet, because the egcs packet doesn't work.

  LNP: No connection between PC and RCX
 
Hi, I want to send some data between my PC (Suse Linux 9.0) and the RCX-Unit (Brickos 0.2.6). I thought LNP would do the thing, and so I downloaded and installed it.

  Odd sensor, perhaps?
 
Okay, I've trimmed down the program to try to figure out what is wrong, I have attached the working version.

  Help - no response from "brick"
 
I used nqc to download pbforth.srec. (The LCD displays "4th".) There is no response from the "brick" using either HyperTerm or CRT4.1. I'm using RCX1.0. Am I missing something? Thanks, Jordon (20 years ago, 13-Oct-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
