I need to look at some items for Joerg, but I'll also look at a small supervisor that integrates the View,Run,Prgm,and On/Off buttons. This hsould be pretty easy and would be a good bit of example code. Cheers, Ralph (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) off (...) True. But I find not very practical to be forced to use the terminal to switch off the RCX or start the program again, expecially when you are attending a contest or take your robot to an exhibit. What I meant by "supervisor" is some (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello, I want to control two RCX with one ir-tower. The problem is that the RCX should send back status information. Sending information to the RCX is quite easy: Both RCX receive the message but only one will perform the command. I found (...) (23 years ago, 11-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) If you have the new version 2.1 the POWER-OFF word via terminal to shut off and the red button to power on works fine. If you have an earlier version (1.2x) you have to use the words RCX_INIT and POWER_INIT to initialize the brick and the (...)

Mario, i'm interested in pbForth example scripts, too. Furthermore, the "supervisor" you suggested could be the answer to one of my questions in (URL) concerning turning the RCX off and on without loosing pbForth: 2) According to Knudsen, i have to (...)

Thanks Ralph, this is great news. I just got the new USB tower, and considering my revived interest for pbForth your new version arrives really at the right time. What IMHO would really boost the spreading of pbForth, is the availability of some (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Hi Kenny, Spirit.ocx can only be used with the serial tower. RIS 2.0 contains a USB-tower, so spirit.ocx doesn't work anymore. Have a look at this message. (URL) a replacement for spirit.ocx is announced. Regards, Rainer (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello.. I've just upgraded my RIS 1.0 to version 2.0 and it appears Lego have stopped using the Spirit.ocx. I'm a little confused, I've used the spirit.ocx within Macromedia Director in the past to write interfaces and programs to control my RCX. (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
