 | | Problem with lego pneumatic parts
|
|
Hi, I am looking for some lego pneumatic parts, such as the pistons, cylinder and the T-connectors for connecting the tubes. First of all, pistco does not sell the T-connectors separate from the kit (~$100). Neither do they sell the pistons, or the (...)

Hi all, I'm working on stuff in BrickOS, and it'd be really helpful to be able to use LNP to communicate with my brick and get data from it. Unfortunately it seems the WinLNP site is gone. Does anybody have suggestions where I could get WinLNP, or (...) (21 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

As Mike pointed out, it is a hyper-threading problem. The reason for winXP not working, but W2K works, may very well be that W2K does not support hyperthreading feature, but WinXP does. I wonder if Mike or anyone does indeed disable the (...) (21 years ago, 8-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Bart, (...) The problem is that USB tower on linux is not supported by firmdl3/dll at the moment. I'm working on that capability now. If I can, my intent is to have it work for 2.4 (user added driver) and 2.6 (built-in driver) kernels. The USB tower (...) (21 years ago, 6-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

You must send the packet to port 0 of the destination. The dest address is conformed by the address in the upper 4 bits and the port in the lower 4 of the char. So if you put address = 6 you are saying -> host=0 port=6 and you must send to host=6, (...) (21 years ago, 27-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
