  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) for the output device thing, the lcd isn't the only device. sensors and motors are also can be implemented as files. (...) well it's still just an idea, maybe the fork() will turn out as rfork(). doesn't really matter now. but see my other (...) (24 years ago, 27-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
Yeah. I have to agree with Ross. Increased unix-ness would be nice, but additional complexity with no actual performance gain most definitely is not. That said, like the remote patch that I'll post sometime this weekend, I'll take patches for (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) Well, as someone else has said in this thread, if you're doing it for fun, or to learn more about memory management / file systems, etc, then got for it. But I wouldn't expect much of it to be included in the official versions - you've got to (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) You can't implement a true fork() anyway, since you don't have memory management and therefore can't copy the address space of the parent process. John A.

  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) I just have to ask why you're doing this, just for the heck of it? I mean, the output device you're writing two can hold a whopping five characters at a time. I don't really see the benefit of changing to a more complicated interface. Of (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) when i remove -O from my Makefile the kernel grew bigger, and crossed 0xb000, so i changed it accordingly, and that didn't work. so i guess there is 16k limitation for kernel and user program. (...) too bad, but there's not much to work on (...) (24 years ago, 26-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: SubSumption and Dave Baum
 
Sorry about that, Jonathan. I didn't think that there was any legOS code in Dave's book, but I didn't want to argue with someone who had read it more recently or more thoroughly than I had (which, honestly, wasn't very much, since I don't do NQC.)

  Re: SubSumption and Dave Baum
 
For the record: _The Unofficial Guide to Lego Mindstorms Robots_ was written by me, Jonathan Knudsen. I'm pretty sure this is the book you're using, since it has the Hank robot in it. As you've observed, the legOS code is for version 0.1.7, and the (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: SubSumption and Dave Baum
 
(...) I'd assume that the first targets will be US bookstores, probably Amazon first ;) But I don't really know. Mainly, I know because they promised to ship us (the authors) our copies as soon as they are off the presses ;) (...) I have never heard (...)
