  dll 'error deleting program' with briskOS-0.9.0
 
Hello, according to informations that brickOS is the most powerfull of all Mindstroms OS's, I have tried to start it. I work with a Linux 2.6 (Fedora Core 3). I have compiled it with rcx-egcs cross compiler C and C++ cross compilers (version 1.1.2) (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: navigation and communication
 
(...) We have worked with a big chart with black crosses on a white wooden surface. This works pretty well, since with the reflection of the light of the LED, black and white can be easily recognised. Then the ambient light has not a big influence. (...)

  Re: position calculating for robots
 
(...) There are various geometries have been implemented in Lego bricks for this. Here is one example: (URL) searching Google for "Lego adder subtractor" for others. (19 years ago, 2-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: position calculating for robots
 
(...) From something I read 12 years ago for my university project (a Lego robot of course, but pre-RCX), I think it required differential equations (ugh!). Probably a bit too memory-hungry for an RCX. Perhaps you could use the PC's computing power (...) (19 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  position calculating for robots
 
Thanks Thomas for your idea. The matter is that I was thinking of using angle sensors in order to calculate the number of the turns that each wheel has driven (I am talking for a robot with 2 wheels). I think that some advanced maths are required (...) (19 years ago, 26-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: navigation and communication
 
(...) In theory you can find position by having a 'giant pantone chart' on the floor - a sheet of paper like the test pad with coloured squares on it, and use the light sensor to detect which square the robot is on. Has anyone tried this? It will be (...) (19 years ago, 25-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  navigation and communication
 
Thank you Nathan. I think your link is really gonna help! Now do you know of any way making the robot calculating its position constatly? You see i want to make the robot send its position to another one so it can go there. Thank you again for your (...) (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: RCX communications at brickos
 
(...) Hi John when I started programming IR communication under brickOS the following site helped me to get off the ground: (URL) that helps. Best regards nathan (19 years ago, 24-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RCX communications at brickos
 
Hello everybody. I am working at my postgraduate project at lego mindstorms and I am looking for information on programming the RCXs to communication with each other. I'd be grateful if you'd supply me with some links about this subject. Also (...) (19 years ago, 17-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  downloading BrickOS firmware for first time
 
Hi all, I have built brickos 0.9.0 on Linux platform kernel 2.4.29. Brickos was successfully built with only C (no c++) support. My Lego is RCX2.0 and I am trying to download for first time the standard firmware. For connection with the RCX I am (...) (19 years ago, 17-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
