(...) Way to go Ian! I'm moving along in my attempts to get the USB tower working with pbForth. The USB tower uses ODD parity, and that cannot be changed. Sooo, to all the other environment writers out there, be aware that the next version of (...) (23 years ago, 10-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I've mentioned my attempts to get a psion series 5 to talk to pbForth before. I've finally got it sorted enough to be useful. Anyone with a Psion Series 5mx machine (possibly a series 5 also) may like to look at (URL) It transfers firmware and text (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) The firmware downloader built into BricxCC is a port of Dave Baum's NQC code to Delphi. It calculates the checksum up to a length of 0x4C00. The limit of 0xCC00 is based on the sum of length + start (where start is = 0x800). John Hansen (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Thanks John, I'll try this soon. You may want to post this to the next level higher to let other non-pbForthers see what you are up to. Does your alternative firmware loader take into account the limit at 0xCC00? If the replacement firmware (...) (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

As an aside, I think it might be a straightforward matter to make emacs communicate with the RCX (or intermediary) and then you've got a full blown editor to work with (ie, there are already forth highlighting modes). (23 years ago, 6-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

I've put together a stand-alone application which I am calling ForthPad. It is a Windows executable which should run on any version of Windows from 95 on up. It is a simple Forth editor that performs user-configurable syntax highlighting. Users of (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) If you changed pbForth to use 2400,o,8,1 instead of 2400,n,8,1 wouldn't that make it work with the USB tower? It seems to me like that is what the standard Lego firmware expects from either tower. That appears to be how it works under Windows, (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Hi all, i'm interested in using a Sony Clie N770 (Palm OS 4.1) to program my RCX (RIS 1.5). I ran across pbForth in the book "The Unofficial Guide to Lego Mindstorms" by Jonathan B. Knudsen. I downloaded pbForth.srec (version 11/11/2001 22:08) from (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
