|
Hi, My school currently has a robotics course that uses the RIS kits and LegOS. We're trying to expand the size of our class, and consequently need additional parts (and replacements for missing/broken parts) I've looked around on the lego homepage (...)

(...) Beware! A normal serial cable, with the attachment screws on each side of the D-shell, doesn't fit down the recess on the back of the tower (or at least, mine doesn't). regards, Ian SMith (23 years ago, 29-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

If you want to buy something out of USA in (URL) to find a friend in USA and ask she/he repack and send items to you, I did like this. Most of sellers in (URL) can send items to any countries, I did many times. For (URL) discussion with seller, (...) (23 years ago, 30-Nov-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

One more thing, this is why I am going to move to USA from Japan because I can buy LEGO in cheapest price and fast way, then I can have a big place to test my RCX Controlled LEGO Train Projects, some of them need over 5m x 5m, I have no way to debug (...)

hi all. im using legOS 0.2.4 and using lnpd to communicate with my linux box. now then, here is my problem. lets imagine i have the following: foo{ int test; char *test2; void *test3; }; char *test4 = 'a'; char *test5 = 'b'; struct foo bar* = NULL; (...)

(...) That's wrong. You should write "char test4 = 'a';", otherwise you are implicitly casting the character 'a' to a pointer to store it in test4 (the compiler should warn you about this; use -Wall to catch these errors). (...) Then this line (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

This is really more of a general C question than an lnpd question. Anyway, the problem is with serialization; you want to take a structure in memory, and turn it into a stream of bytes, either to store in a file, send over a network, or whatever. (...)

(...) this must be char test4 = 'a'; I think. Otherwise, you won't sent an 'a' anyway. But I can't imaginge why you want to do this. Michael Ash has shown a way to fiddle the strings into a contigous data area ready to be sent. But why do you want (...) (23 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
