| | Finally able to add asm forth words.
|
|
Yeah!! After lots of reading and study and experimentation and suggestions from Ralph I finally added a new word to the .asm files. It was a simple word. I just cloned DUP under a different name. But it works. Now I am truely turned to the dark (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Hmmm...this is a good alternative, the dialog would then point the user in the right direction, which is the rcxoption.tcl file. I like it. I could even do it when the com port could not be opened... (...) This is wierd. It works just fine on (...) (24 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I have run into this too, Jerry. A few especially bothersome noise sources include video cameras, security systems, and remote controls.

I think my problem is bounce back noise. I doubled checked the port settings, started with a fresh set of batteries, made sure I had a clear buffer, but what made the difference is where I am doing my programming. I'm working off of a laptop, and (...) (24 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) A good rule. I just know I'm going to need fast so I am planning ahead. Somehow I'm usually at the bleeding edge of trying to squeeze everything possible out of limited hardware.

(...) No there is not. That being said, it's pretty easy to write one...if you have the time. I fiddled around with it a bit and then gave up since the GNU tools worked pretty quick. It was strictly a time/value exchange. From bitter experience, (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I asked this once before but in the middle of an unrelated email so the question got lost. (24 years ago, 19-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Ralph, I'm trying to add an assembler word and trying to deduce register. usage. Could you verify for me please. It looks like the top cell on the stack is actually a register (r6). The second cell on the stack is pointer to by r7. This means that (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
