Hi! I'd also like the RCX brick can operate continuously, but it'd automatically power-off after certain period of time, how to overcome this default setting for the RCX brick and make the RCX brick operate continuously until I switch it off (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Did anyone see this episode reviewing Spybots on TechTV? (URL) I missed it. Was the review good or bad? Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I'd like to use an RCX in an application that would require continous operation. Would the unit overheat after some time? Alternatively, I could turn the power off every night for about 10 hours, but it would then need to automatically power-up and (...) (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi (...) i thought of that... but it seemed too easy... (...) here's what I wrote, and so far it seems to work proprly (tell me if I'm wrong): #include <timer.h> #include <null.h> #include <irq.h> static char _timer_data[64]; #define save_reg() (...)

(...) You can do this in C. ((void(*)(void))0x36ab)(); (void(*)(void)) is a cast to make 0x36ab a pointer to a void function with no parameters. You then take that and use it as a function. You still have to be careful about register usage and use (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

hi, I have another question about interrupt handlers. I would like to know how (if it is possible) I could call the ROM OCIA handler. The reason is that I would like to execute a small task periodicaly but if I simply redirect the OCIA handler (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi all! The quest continues: I have now (with the help of the posters at circuitsonline.net) designed a circuit that should do the trick (clicking the link below should reveal a schematic representation of the circuitry).

(...) The ROM already supports a buffer size of 1 if that is enough for you. The ROM receives a message asynchronously into that buffer, and you can check it whenever you like and respond accordingly. The code I linked to should help you with buffer (...)
