  Linux driver for USB tower
 
Hi, I have a working linux driver for the lego USB tower; so far it has only been tested on kernel 2.4.14 on a uhci system, where it has worked without any problems. Anyone feel like testing it out on their own system (to use it, you will need to be (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
 
  Re: main() not defined?
 
"Brian Smither" <bsmitherINVALID@INV...tlink.net> : (...) Sorry for that. I have typed all the code used in the book into BricxCC, and every program or code snippet has been compiled and checked before being pasted into the book. However, seems (...)

  Re: main() not defined?
 
Thank you, kind sir, for that small but important lesson in C programming. That was the problem. (And, for everyone's information - FEI - Ferrari's book also has Main() capitalized.) Trevyn Watson <4tee2@rogers.com> wrote in (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: main() not defined?
 
(...) The code on page 107 has "main()" capitalized (i.e., "Main()") and it shouldn't. The error I get is "task 'main' not defined". I'm relatively certain it is a capitalization problem. John Hansen (URL) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: main() not defined?
 
Did you capitalise "Main"? It doesnt seem to work if you do. NQC is case sensitive, just like C. Trevyn. (...) (22 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  main() not defined?
 
I get this error - "main() not defined" - when compiling. The code is copied straight from the Ferrari book. While C is the language of my choice, the line of code isn't so obtuse as to hide errors from me. So probably there is some other requisite (...)

  Re: Program() always returns 0
 
I believe any data source (not just timers/sensors/variables) can be used in SetUserDisplay. The big limitation is that local variables cannot be used since the display is updated in a global context independent of the tasks. If you know of data (...)

  Re: Program() always returns 0
 
Oops. Looks like a bug in the NQC API file. I just fixed the bug in the NQC source, but it's not major enough to warrant a new release yet. In the meantime, you can add the following lines to the top of of your source file as a work-around: #undef (...) (22 years ago, 8-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Program() always returns 0
 
SetUserDisplay does not work like that. You need to specify either a sensor, timer, or global variable. Once you have done that it will continuously update the display as the value changes. In your case you should write your program something like: (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Program() always returns 0
 
The following code always displays 0 regardless of the program slot in which it is run. Is this a bug, or do I not understand the purpose of Program()? I'm using the 2.0 firmware and NQC 2.4 r2. task main() { SetUserDisplay(Program(),0); (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: NQC and BricxCC problem
 
John, The crash is because NQC is trying to print out an error message but doesn't have legitimate information about the lexical location (file, line number, etc) of where the error occurred. The error itself is from the "#pragma init" line - (...) (22 years ago, 5-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  NQC and BricxCC problem
 
Dave (or anyone else who might have an idea), I'm trying to figure out a problem that a user reported regarding BricxCC and its interaction with NQC.

hi John, thanks for the fast respons. After some invetsigation, I came to the conclusion that you are right, but I'm also right. (...) Yes this seems to work.

  Small bug in Bricxcc 3.3.4.5
 
hi John, I think there's a small bug in BricxCC version 3.3.4.5 (and also in some previous versions). When you insert a template it's not possible to type directly into the "fields". Instead you've to move the cursor 1 line up and then go with F10 (...) (22 years ago, 21-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: MacNQC - iBook with USB tower
 
Hi Jenny and all other Mac users, I 've got no problems with my PowerBook G3/400 and the usb tower running MacNQC 3.0a4. I don't know if anyone must know that my Mac works with MacOS 9.2.2.

  MacNQC - iBook with USB tower
 
I'm using an iBook running MacOS 9.1 I've installed MacNQC 3.0a4. It worked fine with a serial tower prior to installing the USB drivers.

(...) I don't know if you are using BricxCC or not, but I get a single error when I try to compile this line of code if the target is set to Scout or Cybermaster.

  Re: Error Message
 
The only thing I could think of is if NQC thinks you are generating code for some other device (e.g. CyberMaster). Try adding -Trcx2 to the command line to force NQC to target RCX2. If that doesn't fix it, email me the program and I'll take a look. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
