Hi, folks. I've tried to connect to my RCX 1.0 (firmware 0328) from my laptop. Since I have only a serial IR tower, it works fine on my desktop PC, but communications won't work when I use a USB/serial converter to connect it to my laptop (there (...)

(...) (how the manual says to do data)? That's because I don't like to type more than is necessary! :-) Take this line for example: mov.b #0x02:8,r0h This line is doubly redundant. The destination operand is an 8-bit register so the other qualifiers (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jul-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Ok, the motor stuff makes sense, I got a little confused with the shift thing. I looked at the proggamming manual some more and it explaned the @ (Register inderect) but I don't see why it is needed, also in you example you specify the data as (...)

Cool, thanks I was able to find the doc here: (URL) post about the motor seems helpful, so if I understand right the way to run motor A forward would be "mov 0x030003,r0h mov 0x80,r0h" and for the motor C the same except 0x06?

Here's a more direct link for the H8 docs: (URL) down to the literature section and download the two PDFs. For assembly, I would recommend starting off with an installation of BrickOS and perusing the various source code files for the kernel. You'll (...)

I was interested in writing some assembly code for the lego mindstorm, I don't plan on writing an incredibly complex program though. I am learning asm for the z80 chip so I have a little experience.

Mark, Good information. I was wondering what else got powered down by that bit. Once again, I think we need to take a moment to think about what life would be like without LUGNET.
