    BrickOS motor port horrors —Rob Stehlik
   I was writing some simple programs to test out BrickOS last night, and had some really strange behavior. I hooked up a motor to port B and a rotation sensor to port 2. My programs were just testing out various motor speeds and positioning accuracy. (...) (21 years ago, 25-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —Timothy Schroeder
     Well, I don't know much about it being possessed, but you should try to divide the problem probabilities in half. Try loading the original lego firmware. (Yes I know, this brings horror to some of you fellow programmers out there, but its just (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —Michael Obenland
     (...) That is the part that really bites me. Are you able to reproduce the error? If yes, try to put out the batteries for a longer time. Anyway, it seems worthwile to have a look at the brickOS initialization code for the motors. If you can (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
   
        Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —Kevin L. Clague
     (...) Rob, I've had the same problem with BrickOS. The installation I used came with BrickOS already built. I reloaded the RCX with LEGO firmware and all three motor ports worked fine. I concluded it was a BrickOS problem that I would wrestle with (...) (21 years ago, 26-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
    
         Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —Michael Purvis
     (...) Me too. Without any program loaded, it seems to do funny things with the motors. But once I get a program downloaded, it works fine. The only thing that I find freaky is the different values for light sensors. There's hex percentages and dec (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, FTX)
   
        Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —Mark Riley
   (...) As we discussed in email, it appears to be the firmware downloader causing the problem. I just tried downloading BrickOS 0.2.6.10 with both NQC 2.5 a1 and BricxCC 3.3.6.2 and experienced growling motors. I then downloaded BrickOS using firmdl3 (...)

        Re: BrickOS motor port horrors —John Hansen
   (...) [snippage] (...) I will be releasing a new version of BricxCC shortly (by the end of the week, with any luck) which will include a fix for this bug. It is already fixed but I'm trying to get a couple other items done before I publish a new (...) (21 years ago, 27-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
