| (...) Hi Ralph, You may be right because if I insert KEY somewhere in the loop, it displays the information at each pass in the loop. (...) Otherwise, I like pbForth a lot. I'm still learning the particularities of this implementation (what's in, (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| Yes, rcxTcl is probably looking at the data coming in on the IR and buffering it until there is a pause. I'll check it out this week and send out an update if I can.... How are you making out otherwise with pbForth? Cheers, Ralph (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| Ralph, Coult it be that the console (RcxTcl) does that (and not pbForth)? Thanks Mario (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

|
| Hi, I'm trying to find a Terminal Emulator that can access the IR Tower thru a USB port. So far, the ones I found can access only a serial port (COMx). Any suggestions? Thanks Mario (22 years ago, 8-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| (...) Me too, except that Forth gives you ample opportunity to hang the machine with infinite loops and errant pointers causing writes into the program space. On the bright side, I have been working on a trap handler for pushbuttons that will give (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| (...) Thanks. Good to know. (...) I'm familiar with that procedure, too. Thank goodness for the '-firmfast' flag in NQC... I do have another question, though (Oh, the joys of actually testing on real hardware...) 1) When I load a program, does it (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
| | | | | Re: CPR for RCX?
|
| From my experience, what you are describing is normal behavior for the current version of pbForth. Mr. Hempel has done an excellent job of creating a version of Forth to work with the RCX, but the work is far from complete. If you look at the (...)

| (...) Matt, Just because the LCD is blank does not mean that pbForth is not running. When you power the RCX on and pbForth is the firmware, the LCD is blanked. Can you communicate over the IR link? If so, you're fine. If you DO need to remove the (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| I don't know much about forth, but I'll try to help. I'm not sure that any firmware (normal) could keep the RCX from turning on. Try taking the batteries out, wait a few minutes, then put the same ones back in. If it turns on, it was the firmware. (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
| | | | | CPR for RCX?
|
| Hello all, I've got a rather odd condition here with my old 1.0 RCX. It's seen just about every firmware out there, and I just nuked Lejos for pbForth. I used the NQC downloader, loaded the most recent s-record, and lo!, '4th' appeared on my (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
