(...) Wes, A good place to start with the porting is to grab the latest NQC source code from www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc and take a look at the family of PSerial classes in the platform directory. Create a new class (e.g. PSerial_dos) that (...) (27 years ago, 30-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Apart from minor bug fixes, a new file format for user programs is introduced, along with the tools to support it. The dynamic loader is a standalone C (...)

(...) And I always thought people would strike at the red button instinctively. Well, it's the green one. legOS will behave likewise, then - ON/OFF will work even if tasks are running. Markus. (27 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I'll start by pulling the 4x code into the NQC source base.

Hi all, does the ON/OFF Button work while a program is running with the standard firmware? Or do you need to press RUN to stop it first? Markus. (27 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
