Hello Jürgen (...) Thanks, I'll check that out. (...) For the same reason as lejos allows to link/upload up to 5 different programs and the rcx has a program select button! :-) No honestly, if I have a collection of short independent programs which (...)

Hi Kaspar, (...) sending it the remote control sequence for button P1 it will start the currently selected program (not necessarily number 1). There was a more detailed discussion about this on the lejos mailing list a while ago. It's like this (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Does anyone of you know, whether it is possible (with a special byte sequence for example) to send a command to the running LeJOS JVM on the RCX which tells it to run a certain uploaded program? Or, if not, is it maybe possible to call a program x (...) (24 years ago, 25-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) Kaspar, There is a bug with serial towers with RCXPort in lejos 2.0. This causes the problem you are seeing. There is a fixed version in (URL) fixes RCXPort, but I haven't put the fix in the LNP versions yet. I only have a USB Tower, and (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Hi Kaspar, Thanx for the information. In the Lejos-discussion mailing list (Sept 13), Lawrie Griffiths wrote: "A timeout of 100 milliseconds or more should ensure that it reads all the bytes in one message." Looks like it confirms what you (...) (24 years ago, 16-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Thanks for the three of you (Francois, Roger and Lawrence) who have answered to my questions. I was asked to state some more details, which I'll do here: I am working under linux (SuSE 7.3) and since the linux version of java does not yet support (...)

(...) Lawrie Griffiths asked me to forward the following to you: RCXPort should be about twice as fast as RCXF7Port. Do you have a serial or USB tower? I am concerned that you don't get complete reliabilty with RCXPort - I do with a USB Tower. (24 years ago, 14-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) I have not done any experimenting with Data Streams yet since I can get by with bytes. I have tried both the RCXPort and the RCXF7Port. The big advantage of the RCXPort using the LLC protocol is that if the RCX gets out of range or behind an (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
