  More warning cleanup - const qualifier ignored on asm
 
In include/sys/bitops.h : // g++ warns about __asm__ const. we define the problem away. // the CXX symbol is predefined in the Makefile // #ifdef CXX # define ASMCONST #else # define ASMCONST const #endif But CXX is *not* defined in the Makefile.

  Re: Declaration of kernel_critsect_count
 
(...) Your request couldn't be more timely as I'm wrapping up a 0.2.6.10 test release this weekend. I've made this change in CVS and you will see it in the .10 test release. As I publish the 0.2.6.10 test release I'll post a message here explaining (...) (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Declaration of kernel_critsect_count
 
kernel_critsect_count is declared volatile in kernel/critsec.c, but without the volatile keyword in include/sys/critsec.h - this upsets gcc3. Please could these declarations be reconciled? Thanks, Max. (22 years ago, 15-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: dll and the USB tower
 
I have the same problem (I posted a note 3 days ago "Problem with Brickos ..." # 20311). In addition I don't get firmdl3 to download the firmware. Are you running Windows or Linux? Hans (...) (22 years ago, 14-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  dll and the USB tower
 
Hi, I downloaded brickOS 0.2.6 and patched it to use the USB tower. All works well (firmdl3 is patched correctly, the module goes in, I can make my own .lx files), except for dll. When I try to download a .lx file into the RCX, dll hangs. The LED (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: measure distance traveled
 
(...) I'd use a dual differential drive with (one motor fwd/rev, one motor turns) to ensure a straight line of travel and the a rotation sensor to measure the wheel rotations. If you don't have a rotation sensor use a light sensor to emulate one. (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: measure distance traveled
 
I'm not a professional or anything, but your idea could run into the robot pulling to one side, and not going the exact 1 meter. if you had two rotation sensors (not exactly RPM sensors), the error would be greatly reduced in both the distance and (...)

Hi all, I'm a CS student and I have to complete a practical assignment in which a robot has to drive 1 meter straight forward, make a 90 degrees turn and then drive another meter (course administrators will also place obstacles which have to be (...)

  H8300 Cross Compiler for Mac OS X (a start ...)
 
With access to a Mac OS X 10.2 this week I have made an attempt to build the cross compiler set under Mac OS X. Currently I have an issue with sysinfo.c with the binutils build.

  Re: newbie troubles (now they in packs of 2)
 
(...) fontdesign.exe is compiled as part of brickOS. The makedepend error you see if a bug in brickos (fixed in CVS). Just don't do "make depend" for now. Also, you can't "make strip" until you've done "make". Max. (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: newbie troubles (now they in packs of 2)
 
I do not belive fontdesign.exe does exsist because I did a a search on my computer and nothing showed up.I did follow all of commands that was in the installation guide on the brickos webisite.
