  Re: Still JAVA and LNP....
 
(...) There is no way to passively listen to the world. This is good for batteries but bad in all other ways. So, your listening code should send a keep-alive on a regular basis to keep the tower from dying. No way around it :| Luis ---...--- "It's (...)

  Re: Still JAVA and LNP....
 
Umm in response to my own message, would someone be so kind as to explain the following <g> : // return (short)(a + (b << 8)); return (short)(a % 256); If I use the bottom line, discounting variable b, then my checksum is correct...otherwise it (...)

  Still JAVA and LNP....
 
hey all :) Sorry to bother again, but after limited uccess with getting JAVA to cope with LNP, I've run into some (hopefully) simple problems, I'm having major problems with the checksum routine, this routine give me huge integer nnumbers rather (...)

  Re: ttyS1 corrupted after using legos
 
(...) Frank, I'm also using Linux (Red Hat), and had a similar problem. After using the IR tower, my modem wouldn't work on the same serial port. I solved the problem by not sharing the serial port 8?) which also allows me to connect while using the (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Is the only program you are using to download things firmdl3? (...) Try also stty -a < /dev/ttyS0 and/or stty -a < /dev/ttyS1. (...) As far as I know, firmdl3 does not download .lx files. I think there is a separate program for that. dll (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  ttyS1 corrupted after using legos
 
Hi there, I donwloaded, compiled and used legOS 2.4 which worked all very fine. But since then, I cannot use the serial port anymore that I connected the IR-tower to. Maybe anyone has encountered the same problem and knows a solution:) I am no (...) (24 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
Hello, (...) No they don't have a separate address space. I think the limit is 19456 bytes for the kernel, and this is caused by a limitation of the ROM, which is used to download the firmware (kernel). It loads it to the address range 8000-cc00. (...)

  new legOS documentation
 
Thanks to the efforts of a number of people, there is a raft of new documents up at the legOS site. Because of the growing amount of documentation, I've organized a new page to keep track of all the available docs: (URL) things up there now: *LegOS (...)

  Re: LNP + Java
 
Ciaran- To the best of my knowledge, no one has written such an interface. If you want to tackle it yourself, I'd suggest looking at pyLNP (URL) and the two Java interfaces that my lego + linux howto will soon list: (URL) imagine that with the (...)

  LNP + Java
 
Simple question, has anyone out there written, or begun writing an LNP interface object for java ? I'd like the development environment I'm writing to keep control of my little Genetic Program RCX to be less platform specific than linux or windows, (...)

  Re: 0.2.4 API (Long)
 
I'll look at this and probably post it tomorrow (very, very long day, which you'd think would be surprising on a Saturday :| On first glance, it looks like a very useful document. Unfortunately, the autogenerated API docs have become more and more (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  0.2.4 API (Long)
 
I put together a .html document that sums up the User Level functions (as opposed to the internal/Kernel housekeeping functions), Constants, and Macros. I forwarded it to Luis, maybe he'll put it up later on LegOS.Sourforge.net In the meantime, I (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) Ok, but why? Again, if you're just having fun, go for it, but don't expect it to be useful. Personally, the current interface is simple and highly functional, and a change to a file paradigm would just make it more complicated with no benefit. (...)

  Re: text location for apps and q?
 
(...) But also for luis, it's not just about performance, it's about interface. of course there's always hack value, but it also might be useful. like many people would expect printf() or write() to stdout instead of cputs(). i don't think there's a (...)

  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?

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)
