  legOS and Windows
 
Hello to all, I'm new here, I finally decided to play a bit with legOS (was only using NQC until now). After reading all the posts describing problems with installing it under Windows, I am happy to say that everything works without too many (...)

  RCX and legOS users in the Chicago metro area
 
I'm looking for Mindstorms RCX users in the northern Chicago metro area. Are there swap meets or competitions or working groups? I'm using legOS and emuLegOS in a Linux environment. (22 years ago, 25-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I put it on a temporary account: (URL) luck :) Michael (22 years ago, 24-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LNPD and Cygwin
 
Hmm well i would like to see the lnpd ported to windows but, the client is a very good start. WinLNP was pretty much useless so any code you can put out would be very helpful. Good luck with the porting, Jason Hensler (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RE: LNPD and Cygwin
 
Actually, last night, I was able to get .NET talking to the IR tower, and have a method for (most of the time) reading an LNP packet, but not processing. If I tidy up the code, would anyone be interested in it? Matt -----Original Message----- From: (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: LNPD and Cygwin
 
4 weeks ago (26-Jun-02) i offered a port of liblnp for windows where the daemon lnpd still has to run under linux, but at least clients can run under windooze. but nobody answered to that message. porting lnpd to windows is hard, because for (...)

  Re: Running legOS under DJGPP Status
 
(...) Ummm.... Ok. Your call :-) But if the necessary porting turns out to be harder than expected, remember Cygwin. Max. (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Running legOS under DJGPP Status
 
(...) This whole thread is about using legOS under DJGPP, not Cygwin. I really don't know why, but some people, me included, like DOS better. (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Running legOS under DJGPP Status
 
(...) What about using Cygwin instead of DJGPP ? Max. (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  LNPD and Cygwin
 
Is it possible to build and use LNPD under cygwin? None of the windows implementations of LNP really fit my needs (WinLNP might, if it would ever work) And if it is possible to build it, how? I attempted to and just ended up with build errors about (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RE: lnp on alternate microcontrollers
 
I'm very interested in this as well. I hope to work on it this winter, when I spend my free time on legos and computers instead of boating and playing sports. I've ordered a couple Hitachi h8 series microcontrollers and developer kits. If anyone (...) (22 years ago, 21-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RE: new name
 
When I checked last, getting a trademark on a name costed (I believe) about $45.

  Re: Running legOS under DJGPP Status
 
(...) If it helps, I got binutils to compile by using the --disable-bfd-assembler option to configure. Then I ran into gcc troubles. I just gave up and bought Linux. dll and firmdl3 will need major rewrites because DJGPP has no tty functionality. A (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  re: new name
 
You might consider getting a trademark so that not even lego can say anything to us about the name. Is this an expensive prospect? How about a superfund for it? Probably would want to get it in the names of all the major authors. Frank (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  lnp on alternate microcontrollers
 
Has anyone tackled putting lnp on a non-lego microcontroller? This would be an interesting project. Frank (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Nice to see that someone is so involved in BrickOS like you are. Just don't go dissapear. /Joel (22 years ago, 19-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

It is over now. There is a clear winner.

  Re: is it possible to remove lnp_handler while running ?
 
Have you tried the 0.2.6.05 ?? I remember something in this area while I was debugging RCX message passing. There is a different semaphone for the xmit buffer separate from the transmitter (TX) in 0.2.6.05 that was not so in 0.2.6 The very latest (...)

  Re: is it possible to remove lnp_handler while running ?
 
no..wait.. im fairly sertain that i did have a context shift while in lnp_addressing_write..after all .could that be why it never returns ?

heh.. tried that.. no luck :( sigh..after yet a couple of hours trying to figgure this out, im 99,99% sure that the problem is in lnp_addressing_write. could this be that the function is not thread safe ? but then again i have protected the function (...)
