 | | legOS not working with external relay switches
|
|
I'm in the process of "reviving" past inventions with my new knowledge of legOS. One such invention (if you can call it that) used 3 12V relay switches to control external circuits. Full power on the outputs would trigger the relays. however, under (...) (23 years ago, 10-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) They don't, but they need bignums (really big integers). (...) the API is in java.math.BigInteger . (...) You could just run PPP over it I suppose, with some encryption (IPSec?) on top of it. Would be dead slow, though. The charm of the RCX (...) (23 years ago, 10-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

By all means use lejOS, but don't think that legOS is hard to get working on Windows.

(...) If you need floating point numbers the leJOS JVM for the RCX uses floating point: (URL) seems like a very intersting idea. I actually wanted to skip the RCX altogether and somehow link up a networking protocol using just the IR Towers. One (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) It really isn't that limited when you consider other platforms that run full PK systems, such as the Dallas Semiconductor iButton. It has a much more limited processors, more limited RAM, and you write your code in Java so it has to be (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Excellent point, Benton Jackson e-mailed me with the following: (...) Good idea using a external sensor to seed some sort of random number generator function.

(...) The key word is a "good" generator. Random() is way too predictable to use in a crypto application. (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Even if it needed FP, legOS supports that. (...) Well, maybe. Maybe not. legOS has a random() function, right? Once the TCP/IP patch is stable, why not use an RCX as an echo server with built in en/decryption? You could just telnet to it, type (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
