| | Driving R/C servos and interrupt latencies
|
|
Hi, I finally succeeded in driving up to 7 R/C servos from the RCX using a shift register and a re-triggerable monostable (for synchronization) all driven from the FTOA output line (senor B, AC coupled into a transistor) . This involved switching (...) (23 years ago, 6-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hello everyone. I've just developed a remote control for the RCX using the PIC16F877. It's very useful due to the fact that it does not need a computer, but still needs the ir tower (the serial one, sorry I'll try to adapt the project tu use the new (...)

I've got 2 be honest: I'm new in LegOS, but I've had a similar problem.

Hi, I'd like 2 know if there's a way to integrate VC++ 6 and LegOS, not 4 debugging, but for use VC as editor (very good as editor) and then just compile inside the IDE??? -- CarlosLuis Rendón M. Network Manager (23 years ago, 2-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

In adding LNP support to EmuLegOS I needed this feature in the lnpd. If you grab EmuLegos there is a patch for lnpd that will add the feature you are looking for. The patch has nothing to do with EmuLegOS so you can apply it without setting up the (...) (23 years ago, 30-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Eric, see the thread started by Zhengrong Zhang on 11/5/01 about this. short: we can't find any compelling reason to hardcode the address.
