 | | Idle Powerdown
|
|
I've successfully implemented an idle powerdown into the legOS kernel. On more than one occasion I have left my RCX on overnight, resulting in the need to buy a new set of batteries. The tricky part was doing a successful powerdown from within the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

If the functions you wish to perform can be done in simple tasks you could probably program each RCX to recognize a specific range of message numbers. In this way, a 'function' on the RCXs can be 'invoked' by the PC by having it send a specific (...) (24 years ago, 12-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Semaphores: You said you installed Linux, try "man sem_post". Also kernel/program.c is a good reference for a semaphore use. A more complicated example is the tx_sem in kernel/lnp-logical.c and kernel/lnp.c. Eddie C. Dost ecd@skynet.be (24 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
