I succeeded in using (emulated) floats in a legOS program. Here are some instructions in case some of you want/need to try 32 bit FP emulation. First of all I must point out that I have no merit at all in having got this result, a part from having (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Just to state my interests: I'm mainly interested in the protocol, eg what level of service it would provide etc. In particular, I'm interested in layering a higher level gauranteed delivery protocol atop whatever simple one is provided.

Here's the fair play policy: (URL) right. The Lego Group is exceedingly protective of their trademarks and intellectual property. If they haven't pursued action against legOS, it's very likely a deliberate policy rather than an oversight. Jonathan (...) (25 years ago, 5-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Considering the past history of TLG, I'd say the fact that they haven't said anything about the name LegOS says a lot. TLG is paranoid about their trademark. Use Lego like a noun (as in, "I liked Legos a lot when I was a kid," or "I play with (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Lego's always been a bit of a hobbyist's thing[1] so probably even TLG thinks there isn't much point in siccing lawyers on us, even if they disapproved. Big companies[2] lawyering hobbyists is really bad PR :) [1] not in any way derogatory, (...) (25 years ago, 4-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Is anyone else having problems with this? The receive and display part works fine but it won't send "Hello World" when I press the View button. The srec from the LegOS home page works fine but if I build it myself it doesn't. I've tried both the web (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Hahaha, regarding that LegOS is more of a library than an OS, my opinion too. But you have to admit the name has some appeal, even if it is something of a misnomer... :) Clearly it says something about TLG's attitude toward LegOS that they (...)
