		Spirit.ocx
I'm trying to use the spirit.ocx ActiveX control and VB to program my RCX (I realize this is a NQC newsgroup, but I didn't see one for VB users). My problem is that my infrared tower runs off the USB port, but spirit.ocx exposes only the serial (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

		Re: USB tower/Linux/Firmdl not working nicely together
Bart, (...) The problem is that USB tower on linux is not supported by firmdl3/dll at the moment. I'm working on that capability now. If I can, my intent is to have it work for 2.4 (user added driver) and 2.6 (built-in driver) kernels. The USB tower (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) I have a working USB-tower in linux 2.4.21 using the cvs legousbdriver and nqc2.5r3. I use nqc for brickos installation 2.5.09 and dll included for lx uploads. I think I patched the brickos source with a usb patch from either (...) (21 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

		USB tower/Linux/Firmdl not working nicely together
Hi, Delighted I was to see that the USB lego tower driver was accepted into the Linux kernel tree, so I downloaded linux 2.6.2 and installed the lego driver with it. It checks in perfectly, no problem with the driver. But, when I try to upload (...) (21 years ago, 25-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

		RE: time sampling under the rcx standard OS
Here are some comments on how to improve your code for real-time performance. 1. Move the "SetUserDisplay" out of the loop and put it just before the loop. 2. I think the "OnFwd" macro is actually two instructions: "Fwd" and then "On". Replace this (...) (19 years ago, 17-Sep-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

		RCX and IR Range Characteristics?
Hi All, A while back, Ben Erwin asked about other user's experiences with the IR tower and range. I'm trying to characterize a persistent problem with the pbForth serial library, with respect to message reliability. It seems that even in high range (...)
