  What difference between 0.2.4 and 0.2.5?
 
I am using 0.2.4 now, I want to know what difference between 0.2.4 and 0.2.5 to decide if I need to upgrade it. Br Zhengrong (23 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Combo sensors (rotation AND light, same input)
 
Hi, I've got a way to use a Rotation sensor and a light sensor on the same input, and get reliable, useful values from both. This is for real. See : (URL) was interested if anyone else has done this. Enjoy everyone. Mike Amy (23 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I'm selling my entire collection for $4,500. There are over 300 sets MISB, and over 200 sets opened but still in mint condition. Over 90% of the opened sets were put together once; and then sealed in zip-lock bags. The boxes of the MISB sets are in (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Assembly in my C-program
 
(...) If you want to drive directly the motors you should first disable motor handling in legOS (remove CONF_DMOTOR definition in config.h). Then you can create a high priority task that switches motors on and off writing in the motor output port. (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Thus just calling motor_speed(50) would have to initiate a task that starts (...) (23 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Assembly in my C-program
 
Actually I am trying to control a stepper motor. So when i need to send 50 pulses fast, motor on and off takes same time because there same other tasks running at the same time. So it would be much quicker if I could just call motor speed (50), and (...) (24 years ago, 28-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Assembly in my C-program
 
HI, I was wondering if I could write assembly code in my c-program. I would like to access the motor output port as a digital port and control when it is on and when off (possibly writting something like "mov.b r6l,@0xf000:16"). Or can I change the (...)

  Re: Running IR in the background
 
Hannes, I got it to work last night. I'm modifying Markus Noga rover.c code (included when you download legos files) to include support for IR port and (passive) light sensor. Great code to look at if you're just learning C/C++. Basically, the (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Commentary below. (...) I must have missed this one the first time around. lnp_logical_write() will block, but it should only block the thread it's called from. Put your send-zero loop in a separate thread and I think you should be set. (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hannes, Did you ever get any help with your question (below)? I'm trying to use the IR port on RCX along with light sensor (passive) as collision detection device. Having the same problems you're having. Clayton (...) (24 years ago, 27-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
