 | | simple beep
|
|
Is there a clear way to just create a brief beep or tone in legOS-0.1.7? I've never really looked through the direct-sound code, and one of my fellow students wants an answer NOW- so I thought I'd ask here before digging into the code. Anyone? (...)

| | IR proximity
|
|
I've managed to get a proximity detection working in legOS, using egcs 1.1.1 as the cross compiler. It has a very short range, and I haven't yet tested if the NQC variants have better range. If that is the case, I believe somebody will have to fix (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I finally succeeded in compiling an egcs-1.1.2 compiler for cygwin with the patch for enhanced RCX interrupt support applied. The bad news is: this doesn't change a thing. I still get "error deleting program". I can see the send light on the tower (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

G'day, (...) Do you know if/how they were able to fix the problem? Btw. I used binutils 2.9.1 and gcc 2.95.2 (with the patches for the interrupts applied) to create the legOS and gcc 2.8.1 to build the cross compiler. Carsten (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) You're right, that's the echo of what you're sending. This looks suspiciously like the problems many people had with gcc-2.9.5 compiled legOS on regular Linux boxes, you know. Maybe you should try downloading a kernel known to work? Markus. (25 years ago, 30-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
