  Powered off, but still on?
 
Recently, I went to use a couple RCXs that were loaded with LegOS. These two had both been used previously (about 1 to 2 weeks ago) but should have both had plenty of battery life remaining. I found that they both had drained the batteries (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Here I go...
 
Well, I've just volunteered to give a presentation on LegOS at Brickfest 2002. I don't think I'm the most qualified person to present LegOS, but I am willing. And that seems to be the only real requirement! First, I'm a programmer (VB), and I've (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: bug in setting lnp host address?
 
And, you'll probably hate my reply... "Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should." The very idea of a discontinuous array of bits representing a network address in something as rudimentary as LNP makes my hair stand on end. The idea (...)

Hello all I am looking for C code for legos, to do the same as the below in NQC psksvp SetSerialComm(SERIAL...MM_76KHZ); SetSerialPacket(SERI..._DEFAULT); // Set the first unit two message bytes and send them SetSerialData(0,MANA...0x10+em1); (...)

  Re: bug in setting lnp host address?
 
you'll probably hate me for being a nitpicker.... (...) technically, you should not do any bitshifting at all. There is always the odd case when someone decides to be clever and have a hostmask with interleaved zeros. for example, a hostmask of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: bug in setting lnp host address?
 
You are correct in stating that I shouldn't have restricted you to 16 nodes X 16 ports. I did however, want to normalize the host address in the visible API and user interfaces to be a small 0..N number instead of a random hex byte value, properly (...)

  Re: help with setting up legOS 0.2.6 on Windows XP
 
Scott, I suggest you start by following the instructions by Paolo Masetti found at (URL) He has written a pretty thorough set of instructions that should get you started. I do suggest that you read it over once BEFORE starting so you don't miss (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Mac OS X
 
Ed, Thanks, I was familiar with that thread. Unfortunately not much useful info came out of it. I was hoping for a report from someone who was ultimately successful in building legOS and its tools, as well as building the cross-compilers on a USB OS (...)

  Re: Promising software
 
(...) I went over to the colibri.org website, and while they mention that "colibri currently supports one hardware platform - the Lego RCX brick", they also say that putting it in an RCX is "not useful", and actually tell people to use legOS (...)

  Mac OS X
 
Hi, Has anyone had any success with building the legOS system under Mac OS 10.1.4? I downloaded version 0.2.6, put it in my user application folder, and then just typed make. Here is the result.

  LegOS / Orignal Firmware
 
Hello All! If I have installed LegOS on the RCX (I have not done this yet!) and I want to go back to the orignal lego firmware, is it still possible to use the firmware download option in the orignal Minstorm Software? or I'll have to use firmdl3 (I (...)

(...) Why not allow all 4? 1. Have a build option that the variable is set to by default; 2. An option on firmdl3 over-rides this if required; 3. An option on dll over-rides this if required; 4.
