So, I have some more questions to anyone who wants to answer them :) (John,
hope you are listening ;)
1) Do I need to recreate $rcx after a while? It looks to me that under many
circumstances, repeated calls to the RCX will fail to cause the tower to turn
on. Is this a known bug? feature? Anyone?
2) If anyone cares, I'm attempting to teach myself the GTK GUI tools by
building a GUI for RCX.pm which would allow linux users to control their RCX
remotely. If anyone has any feature requests, now is the time to get them in :)
Of course, if I can't figure out why RCX.pm is flaking on me then I can't see
the project getting finished any time soon (no time to recreate the
functionality of RCX.pm in LNP :|
Anyway, hope someone can enlighten me...
