Today I had a bit of time on the bus so I went through the work of getting
legOS working on my system. After I got it up and running I noticed that I
was using 0.2.2 and that 0.2.3 was out (I started with 0.2.2 becuase the most
recent instructions for building on Windows used 0.2.2).
Going from 0.2.2 left me with two options.
1) I could download 0.2.3 and start over trying to make 0.2.3 work
2) I could download 0.2.3 and then patch 0.2.2 with 0.2.3 features.
I ended up doing step 2. It would have been a lot easier if a .patch file
could be produced whenever a legOS update comes out though. This would allow
me to have my Windows-patched sources on my machine, and then apply your
patches on top of them to do the upgrade. It also means that I don't need to
download the whole new system to install it or build the diffs myself.
I'm really impressed with legOS otherwise. Getting it up and running on
Windows isn't for the faint of heart (you have to do a lot of digging around
on lugnet to figure out the appropriate set of patches to apply), but once it
is installed it works pretty well. I made a nice little "run around and don't
get stuck" robot pretty easily, and I really like being able to display
whatever I want on the LCD.
A small feature request is auto poweroff when the RCX is idle for ~10
minutes. If I get a chance I will look into doing this myself if someone else
hasn't already tackled it.
