 | | Another LegOS Feature - Combo Sensor
|
|
With the latest surge of interest in updating LegOS, I’d like to offer an idea that I think would be nice to add. A few months ago, someone posted some sensor code that allowed a light sensor and a rotation sensor to be connected to the same port. (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have been working on some changes to the task scheduler (and therefore execi, kill, killall) and have reduced the size/complexity a bit. I think it is ready for use (although I am going to continue to test it). Here is a bit of info. about it: (...) (23 years ago, 25-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Thanks for reading it. (...) I'll need time to play with this. It seems to me this is not the first time this has been mentioned in this news group.

| | Final RFC on next legOS release (would have been legOS 0.2.6)
|
|
We are now actively deciding what the next release of legOS will be. (yes there will be a name change and, likely, the numbering will change but -for now- let's call it legOS 0.2.6) I've put together a more formal description of what we know today. (...)

I read over the proposed release changes for 0.2.6, just a few ideas. I recently picked up a second RCX and found it quite difficult to do development using legOS on two RCXs. I might just be missing something, but I had to maintain two seperate (...) (23 years ago, 24-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

This looks good so far Stephen. I agree with the time-to-release remarks (although I love to dive in to new code 8-) Also, I like the idea of not updating to a new compiler (as I just got this machine setup and the compiler working well). I am (...) (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Name suggestion
|

I think I suggested this before, but how about Leg-OS. This isn't easily confusable with Lego, and allows us to keep saying "leg os". mark (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

And don't forget: We need a new NAME!!! There is no reference to legOS on the LEGO MINDSTORMS homepage. I understand their reason for this but it would be good for brickOS (formerly known as legOS) to get more popular. Mike (23 years ago, 23-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
