(...) Mario, I did some checking and I think the real issue is with the USB driver from LEGO. The serial tower does not exhibit this behaviour. It has its own problems, which include falling asleep after 2 seconds of inactivity. So, as far as I can (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

For some stupid reason in my head I was expecting some special API words was necessary to manage this communcation, while (...) (22 years ago, 2-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) What you describe would work exactly. Normally, the "outer interpreter" of pbForth waits for input using "KEY" - which of course is just a char from the IR. You can make a special word that waits for anything you like... Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

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)
