 | | new HOWTO release
|
|
Hey, everybody. There is a new HOWTO version available. It doesn't contain anything groundshaking, except that it does (finally) incorporate an updated version of demo.c. And it fixes the error in spelling Paolo's name :) Since this is now public, (...) (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Nope. I've been moving :( and my mindstorm is still taped up and packed. To worsen the situation, my motherboard broke, so I don't even have a functional PC at the moment.

I've looked around sourceforge but have not been able to locate the daily tarball. Anyone know the URL? Rossz (24 years ago, 22-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | LNP and Lego Remote
|
|
Hi, Can we set the parity of LNP to SMR_ODD? Right now, LNP is acting as if it were set to even parity even though it's supposed to be at no parity; it's discarding all odd bytes sent by the Lego remote. Luis? Tried the patch and the demo for the (...) (24 years ago, 21-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hello, My college computer science department is thinking of using Lego Mindstorms as part of the introduction to computer programming class.

(...) Yes, there are some warnings during the compile. I'm at work, so I can't interrogate my make log, but the only big one is the one about libc, which is documented in the HOWTO. Regards, ROSCO (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Re: Idle Powerdown

Also, Paolo gets credit for the code that resets the idle counter inside IR activity. It will not reset on invalid packets or packets sent to a different RCX unit, so a unit will quietly go to sleep after 15 minutes in the midst of LNP (...) (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Re: Idle Powerdown

Paolo was kind enough to check into Sourceforge my changes to implement idle powerdown. The default is 15 minutes of idle time (no programs running, no buttons pressed, no LNP activity) before automatically turning itself off. BTW, in my previous (...)
