  Problems with Brixcc Cygwin
 
Hi, I'm running Brixcc on Win 98 and, during the installation process of the optional Cygwin installer, a window appers asking me to open a file named BRICXCCSETUPCYGWIN.002 which doesn't exist! Does anyone know what's happening? Thanks (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: communication with USB on Linux
 
(...) So, unless I move to the 2.6.10 kernel and CVS leJOS, there's little to no chance I'll get the desired bi-directional communication with the USB tower working. (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: communication with USB on Linux
 
(...) Probably not. (...) You can keep it, just install the new one in a different directory and make sure you don't use the old one (change LEJOS_HOME and PATH). Jürgen (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: communication with USB on Linux
 
Hi Juergen, Thank you for your answer. Some questions though: (...) Yes, I did. That solved some problems. (...) Does CVS work with my 2.4.26 kernel as well? Should I remove the 'old' leJOS version first? (...) Thanks Huub (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: communication with USB on Linux
 
Hi Huub, (...) have you run make? (...) You can also get it working with the CVS version of Lejos and a Linux kernel >= 2.6.7, which includes the newest driver. To get and install Lejos from CVS do $ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous...root/lejos login $ cvs (...) (20 years ago, 13-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
 
  Re: Help please !!!
 
(...) No, the documentation only talks about the path, which is a system variable, not an env. variable. (I assume you are using windows) I think you will have better luck if javac really is in your path. To verify that it is, type path in the (...)

  communication with USB on Linux
 
Hi, For some time I've been trying to get bi-directional communication using: - Slackware Linux 10.0 - leJOS 2.1.0 - USB IR-tower - RCX 2.0 So far I've managed to upload leJOS and the written software to the RCX. However, when I try to run the (...) (20 years ago, 12-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

  Re: Can the Run button be reprogrammed?
 
(...) Ultimate Robolab provides very easy access to the RCX buttons. With a few icons you can reprogram any of them. Here a nice example : (URL) you press the Run-button in this example, you'll here a sweep down system sound. This is the philosophy (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Can the Run button be reprogrammed?
 
(...) Not to put too fine a point on it, but RUN, PRGM and VIEW are read from an I/O port, while the ON/OFF button is tied to an interrupt line. That's what lets you wake the RCX up from a deep sleep, which you can't do with the other buttons. Ralph (20 years ago, 9-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Can the Run button be reprogrammed?
 
(...) BrickOS does allow you to configure how the buttons are used. The RUN and Power buttons are read in the BrickOS "firmware", so you'd need to change the kernal, if you want to do other things with them, but it is very possible. So, yes, the run (...)

  Can the Run button be reprogrammed?
 
I was just wondering, can the Run button on the RCX be reprogrammed? I was thinking of a theoretical, fail-safe system, where it would be nice to run a clean-up routine after the run button had been pressed to stop the program. I reckon you'd have (...)

  Re: Sending Commands to Spybot from RCX - Question from a Beginner to Comm area.
 
Hi Everybody, I have used SendSpybotMsg and SendSpybotCtrlMessage (of course in connection with resopective set messages) without any problems using BCC 3.3.7.5 and 3.3.7.9. These two commands gives RCX a nice control over spybot. Specially (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Okay, okay, bad form responding to my own post. I got the new firmware on my RCX, downloaded the latest version of BricxCC, and NQC. But I can't figure out how to use this SetUserDisplay command?
