  RE: Light Sensor help
 
Try replacing the batteries -----Original Message----- From: news-gateway@lugnet.com [mailto:news-gateway...ugnet.com] On Behalf Of Nathan Nesbit Sent: Sunday, April 07, 2002 8:25 PM To: lugnet.robotics.rcx....lugnet.com Subject: Light Sensor help (...)

  Light Sensor help
 
I'm a new legos user and I'm trying to get my first app working. The issue appears to be that the light sensor value isn't getting updated as frequently as I expected. When I slow down the motors my line tracking program works fine. I speed it up (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: The PRGM key - THANKS!
 
Wow! I am so glad this worked. I entered a bug for the program.c changes earlier today (on sourceforge) and will enter one for the readme change. (However, we could solve the problem by updating dll as well... to find the parameter in any location) (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: The PRGM key - THANKS!
 
I tried doing "dll -pX prog.lx" instead of "dll prog.lx -pX" and it works! Thanks. It would be good if Joe Wooley's alteration to program.c could be included in the next version of legOS because it does the trick with the "keeping alive" and "error (...)

  Re: The PRGM key
 
Well, I am sorry to say that I don't have a solution for that problem. I haven't experienced this before. I am glad to hear that the program download doesn't fail anymore; and I will request that 0.2.6 contains a similar fix. Ok, another suggestion: (...)

  Re: The PRGM key
 
I don’t know if it makes any difference, but I always put the destination before the name of the program. Ex: “dll -p1 hello.lx” Steve (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: The PRGM key
 
Sorry, no. That's the one difference; it no longer says error deleting program and I don't get any errors when downloading to the RCX. I always use firmdl3 -s because using just firmdl3 on its own never works for me. I still have the problem that (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: The PRGM key
 
After making the change, do you still get "Error deleting program"? or other errors while downloading the program? Your assumption is correct, it will only switch to a program slot if there is a valid program there. I had problems sending programs (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: The PRGM key
 
I just tried this and it has no effect. By the way, I'm using Cygwin B20 under Windows 98 with a com port IR thing, and LegOS 0.2.5. The same thing happened using WinLegOS and 0.2.3. Pressing the PRGM key has no effect in any situation - I assume it (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: The PRGM key
 
I had similar problems when using legOS with CONF_TM defined in boot/config.h What I found was that the lnp handler was not getting enough processing time and was missing some data at times. Try the following fix and let me know if it helps. If so, (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  The PRGM key
 
I quote from the original readme: "Type "dll demo/helloworld.lx". If all is well, it should be automatically relocated and transmitted to program slot 0. Press the RUN key to run. The program stops automatically. Type "dll demo/rover.c -p1" to (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I just put my java MD5 port for lejos on the web: (URL) for the popups, Tripod....) It's a terrible hack, but thanks to that memory footprint is low and it does not leak!

  WinLNP and USB
 
Hi All, I've been trying to send data to my PC using WinLNP and the USB tower. Now, I've modified WinLNP to use the USB tower and it seems to work. I can get the demo RCX program to run and it recognizes I've sent it a byte. I can also get the RCX (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
