    Re: Swan Firmware —John Hansen
   (...) Having downloaded a copy of swan_test.zip which contains the latest test release of BricxCC and NQC you can use nearly all the new and enhanced features in the Swan firmware. You can view the "official" API built into NQC by executing the (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

   (...) Application Programming Interface (URL) Oh my god. I'm completly lost :( Sorry. (...) I'm not sure what you are confused about.

        Re: Swan Firmware —Iain Hendry
     Hey Guys, Any ideas on that code, regarding that error no. 5? Iain (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
    
         Re: Swan Firmware —Iain Hendry

   (...) I've got the flashing five problem as well, and it's really annoying, I spent most of my Friday in vain trying to fix it. I thought/think it's a stack overflow problem, but after serious optimising of my program It's made zero difference. (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

   (...) Can you please email me the NQC source so that I can generate the listing to see if possibly the compiler is generating invalid code? John Hansen (19 years ago, 16-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: I've got what Iain Hendry's got, was Re: Swan Firmware —Steve Lane
     (...) Hi John I've fixed the problem. I tracked it down by commenting out parts of my program. Luckily I started on the function containing the problem So I found it very quickly. Solving the problem took longer though. As you can see below I've (...) (19 years ago, 16-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Swan firmware crash! —Daniele Benedettelli
   Hi. I've installed new NQC and BRICXcc to test new functions in fast firmware by Dick Swan. I wanted to see if the new 1/1000th second resolution could let me drive a servo. When I try to use the SetMotorPower128 command, compiler is ok, downloading (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: Swan firmware crash! —Steve Lane
   (...) You haven't given us(readers) much to go on. I had a similair problem but finding the solution was a bit of a fluke. If you could provide some info like program size, and a description of what the program does or some code we may have more (...) (19 years ago, 19-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        RE: Swan firmware crash! —Dick Swan
     Exception error 40 is intended to indicate that you've tried to write to an invalid source parameter value. "Source parameter" is the first byte of an internal interpreter variable (0 is variable, 2 is constant, etc). If you send me the NQC source I (...)

     (...) I already post a simple code that causes the error: (URL) task main{ SetMotorPower128(MTR_A,100); SetOutput(MTR_A,OUT_REV); Wait(300); Off(MTR_A); } The command SetMotorPower128 is the cause.

        Re: Swan firmware crash! —Daniele Benedettelli
   (...) * Maybe I wasn't too clear, but really there isn't much to say: it is the SetMotorPower128 command that causes the error. * Another question is: why costants MTR_A or MTR_B don't work at all? Here's the code(all the code): task main{ (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: Swan firmware crash! —Steve Lane
   (...) That's where your completely wrong. I can see the error, calls to motor power should be set out like this motorPower128(1) = MyVariableName; in this example the constant "1" means set the power to output B to the value specified by (...)

        Re: Swan firmware crash! —John Hansen
   (...) This is the old-style Swan API which is deprecated. The Swan API built into NQC uses MotorPower128(n) and SetMotorPower128(n, m). With the latest version of NQC you no longer need to include the old swan.nqh header file. The old swan.nqh file (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

   I have put "fast0103.lgo" on web page. It appears that web page on my ISP (drjsoftware.com) doesn't match the local copy on my PC's hard drive. It will take me a few days to update. I'm also planning to release a firmware update in the same (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
