(...) If your IR tower still functions, and it's just a matter of not having a serial port, the simplest solution would be to just buy an adapter that will allow you to hook up a serial device to a USB port. I don't know if Radio Shack will deliver (...) (16 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Guys, Just retrieved my (dusted) RCX kit & a few spybots, when I move things around, unfortunately, my notebook does not have serial port any more. Moreover, the CD does not support XP either. Do you aware if any online shop will sell RCX USB (...) (16 years ago, 22-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I use BrickOS (LegOS) but I'm not expert in the inner workings. The code you have here appears fine to me. So, it may be a bug in BrickOS, or a problem elsewhere in your code. I will say I've ran into some interesting things when using tasks. (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I tried my own skill on writing a program for the included lego test pad (RIS 2.0), and I discovered something weird. The following code does set the conditions right, but the following code doesn't set the conditions right if I comment out the (...) (17 years ago, 16-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Yes, that should be the latest version. (...) That is correct. You shouldn't need to do anything else. At one point, I made some changes to the firmware so the program could also access the run button. But, normally all that is handled in the (...)

(...) I'm using what appears to be called BrickOS 0.9.0. It was installed using John Hansen's simplified installation from his BricxCC sourceforge site.

(...) Gus, It sounds like the code is testing for pressing the run button, but not pressing the power button. I would think testing for shutdown would be good enough, but who knows... :) What version of BrickOS are you using? I'd be glad to take a (...) (17 years ago, 17-Jun-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have a big and somewhat complicated BrickOS program that I believe is reasonably well behaved. All my loops monitor shutdown_requested and I have tested stopping the program with the Run button while the program is in various states and it always (...)
