 | | R2D2 (DDK) with RCX : First Look
|
|
Hi all, I'm glad to introduce you a first draft/beta R2D2/DDK with an RCX done tonight. You can have a look at (URL) Quite Perfect (NQP :-), but I think it can be a good way to do something nice for all of us, and get it as an idea start something (...)

| | A Motor as a Sensor? An idea
|
|
Hi, yesterday i played around with the View Button and with different Sensors. And than I pluged a Motor (in this case a generator) to the Sensor input. If the motor was not turned, the Sensor Reading was '4'. If turned (forward) the reading (...) (26 years ago, 22-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) <chuckle> 10 seems like a small number (yes its limited by the firmware) until you try to use them all. In my experience only email and webserver type applications kick off more than 4 or 5 threads at once. DLC (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Tasks in RCX
|
|
Hi, I read somewhere that the RCX is limited to only 10 concurrent tasks. Is this limitation in the firmware? If so, can I use a replacement firmware like legOS to overcome this. I basically want to have an unlimited number of tasks so that I can (...) (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Well I can't say I have the RCX plugged in when I'm running a vehicle, I *ALWAYS* have it plugged in when it's not in use. I've actually only had to replace the batteries in it once in the past year. Removing the jack was a mistake, IMO... As (...) (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I was talking more in a sense of replacement/repair of damaged units. I would not be surprised if the retail price of each starts to change with shifts in demand. And due to the "apparently common" replacement of the brick with AC, that would have (...) (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Yes RIS 1.5 costs $20 MORE than RIS1.0. It's a good thing I bought 9 RIS 1.0 and the 1.5 upgrade ;-) (...) -- | Tom Stangl, Technical Support Netscape Communications Corp | Please do not associate my personal views with my employer (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Even if it was $0.20 by the time it is productized it is maybe $1.00. Multiply this by the quantity sold and you just save ~$500,000 (whatever the quantity is). When designing computer mother boards there will be large debates over $0.05 BOM (bill (...) (26 years ago, 21-Dec-99, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
