| | | Well, I've gone and run out of memory with my RCX. It manifested itself in a task that refused to run, presumably because the OS couldn't allocate enough memory for its stack. Took a while to track down and was annoying, but it was my own fault for (...) (24 years ago, 14-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

The values eat memory, and the libraries drawn in can get really large (at least for a production (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
