Many thanks John and Jason for your work on this. I have been using the NXC
functions to control PF IR receivers from my NXT.
TLG has just released the following information:
"We have been testing the LPF RC Receiver today and discovered an error in the
RC Receiver firmware or chip masking. A register is not adressable. It affects
all the set, clear and toggle commands for single pins....and only these
commands.
We will do an update of the chip mask at some point (not too far into the
future). At that point it will be corrected."
This means that these commands will not yet work as advertised:
> HTPFSinglePin(port, channel, out, pin, func, bContinuous)
> HTPFSingleOutputCST(port, channel, out, func)
> HTPFSingleOutputPWM(port, channel, out, func)
The HTPFSingleOutputCST commands affected are only the Set/Clear C1/C2 ones. My
own experiments confirm that the others (inc/dec PWM, full power and toggle
direction) work well.
