|
| I'm having a problem with the random() function in BrickOS. I keep getting a return value of zero. Is there something that needs to be set-up before using the function? What kind of value does it return? I've seen documentation that says it returns (...) (21 years ago, 29-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) Hi Steve, Are you using BrickOS 0.2.6.10? In earlier versions, it was possible for malloc() to return pointers to RAM in the range [F010,FB7F], which was shared with the motor port controller. Writing to this memory adversely affected the (...) (21 years ago, 11-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, FTX)

I'm NOT really an expert in brickOS, but these are the sources of delay and msleep: void delay(unsigned ms) { unsigned i; while (ms-- > 0) for (i = 0; i < 600; i++) // not well calibrated. ; } //! delay execution (...)

| | Strange BrickOS Timing
|
| Hello out there, maybe someone can explain to me why the current brickOS release seems to have msleep()-amnesia ;-) We've been testing the data transfer to our Lepomux device. For some strange reason we were still using kernel 0.2.6.07nmChg with a (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

|
| Hello, using brickOS v0.2.6.10... When I declare an object of type Motor and assign it a port outside of main() the RCX does not run the program at all, I have to remove batteries and reload firmware to get it back to normal. Is this related to the (...) (21 years ago, 9-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| Hi Guido, (...) That patch referes to an older transfer-protocol. The one we are using now, does not need SUCH a stable timing. But the Output from BrickOS is a lot worse than it was in older versions. I thing Gunther can explain this better, but I (...) (21 years ago, 3-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| I ran into something odd, and I'm wondering if someone can explain it. I have a pretty large BrickOS program, (the .lx is about 9k) and it uses around 2k for variables. (I think) I've noticed when the program is running, it's not doing anything with (...) (21 years ago, 10-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
