  Clearing the firmware
 
Hi, I've just installed LegOS 0.2.5 and its working great! However, I'd like to temporarily put the original lego firmware back on. How do I erase the legOS firmware so that the ROM bootstrap code will permit the Mindstorms software to download its (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: LegOS and the Downloader....
 
Well, it wasn't that one. I already got and fixed that one. It says: "cannot load legOs executable from:" and then it gives me the name of my attempted file. It's not specifically my program, because none of the demos like helloworld.lx will load, (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Using the serial port of an NCD terminal.
 
Hello legOS fans, I have written a hack to make it possible to connect the IR tower to a NCD terminal. Here at university we are using those fan less terminals, while the servers are in another room. A NCD has a serial port, that is accessible via (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LegOS and the Downloader....
 
Nick, It'd be helpful to know what the message was! I sometimes get "error deleting program" messages, and have to "re-boot" the RCX & re-install legOS.srec. I'm not sure what causes this, but it happens so rarely that I haven't investigated (yet). (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  LegOS and the Downloader....
 
I just installed LegOS last night, made my first few not-too-complicated programs today, and downloaded them. They worked fine, up until I found the bugs. I tried to download a new, updated version of my program, and got an error message. (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Play pcm on the RCX
 
I think this item has been discused sometimes but I have discovered RIS, just last Christmas. Has anyone played a pcm wave? I know how to play it on a PC speaker, but I don´t know a lot on H8 architecture and so on the timers (24 years ago, 2-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: legos 0.2.4 and LNP

  Re: DC output at motor max speed with legOS

  DC output at motor max speed with legOS
 
Hi, I am trying to control a stepper motor with LegOS, and I need to have a constant DC output from a motor output, like when I choose speed(8) with the Lego firmware, so I can turn it on and off to make pulses of the duration I choose.

  Re: Legos 0.2.5 and Win2k
 
If you can get in touch with Paolo directly, I believe he said that he had 0.2.5 running under Cygwin 1.0. If you can get his compiler packages for that, the newer Cygwin may help with W2K. And of course you can always go to www.redhat.com for a (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
