(...) It looks to me like the c compiler optimized the assignment to the variable away, since there is no external method call (shutdown_requested() is just a macro). (...) You should make this volatile int offonpad = 0; (...) You should also put an (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I use BrickOS (LegOS) but I'm not expert in the inner workings. The code you have here appears fine to me. So, it may be a bug in BrickOS, or a problem elsewhere in your code. I will say I've ran into some interesting things when using tasks. (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I tried my own skill on writing a program for the included lego test pad (RIS 2.0), and I discovered something weird. The following code does set the conditions right, but the following code doesn't set the conditions right if I comment out the (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) You must be dealing with a different release of the battery pack than I am, since the only portion of the US instructions that mentions numbers states the output of the battery pack (10VAC, 7VA) and the approximate charge time (4 hours).

(...) Is the RCX still working? Does it "get hot" when it's running an unloaded motor? I would have thought that the 500 mA limit within the RCX case would prevent this, but perhaps it's marginal for some plastic piece "nearby". If the RCX is dead, (...)

One of my students accidently left a tied up gear train running for a while, i.e. In the midst of running a RCX, the case not only gets very hot, but also has a very strong plastic burning smell. At first I thought it is due to the stuck gear train, (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Whoops, I missed that there was a third option. I concur with this, as it's both the right voltage and confirmed AC. The mA rating, BTW, is a capacity rating, so it will work for anything that draws 800mA or less. The NXT adapter is rated for (...) (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
