wishlist for BricxCC

[mattallen37]

Restarting the NXT would mean the computer needs to re-establish connection (same as unplugging and plugging back in).

I have no idea why it doesn't work for you. Are you sure you connected the right NXT?

Edit: Mod, could you please move all this somewhat OT stuff to another thread?

indeed, switching the brick off/on did the trick.
Amazing!

I wish BCC had a tool like a serial terminal... only it's for the NXT to write to. I don't know if you are familiar with ROBOTC, but I am thinking of something like the debug stream. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, I just want to write strings of various lengths to it, and have carriage return (either a special command, or an ASCII 13).

I am getting quite desperate for this. I am already using 3x4 pixel font on the NXT screen with my debug library, and 25x12 (300) characters is far from enough.

Please let me know if you think it is still going to be a while, because I am going to have to come up with a different way to transmit all the data to a terminal. I guess I could probably send everything to the Arduino using I2C, and then print it to a serial terminal, but that's a whole lot of extra work.

BTW, I am trying to program the DIWIFI to act as a web server, and for debugging I need a printout of loads of data.

again that connect-each-BCC-instance-to-a-specific-NXT issue:

my nxt.dat says

Code: Select all

00165301C6A8=USB0::0X0694::0X0002::00165301C6A8::RAW
001=USB0::0X0694::0X0002::0016530EEBDF::RAW
alias2=USB0::0X0694::0X0002::0016530F4740::RAW

my NXT ID (BT name: 000) is
001653102276

I don't find this number in the nxt.dat file, but it always connects automatically if I choose "usb"

what's wrong?

You can manually add lines to the nxt.dat file. Just copy one of the existing lines and change only the brick's unique ID portion near the end. And, of course, the alias at the start of the line.

BricxCC does not add lines to this file unless you choose the Search option in the Ports list, iirc.

yes, Sir, all systems going :)

[h-g-t]

I finally decided to try out the new firmware but I can't be sure I have found it.

I keep getting lost in directories and sub- directories.

Why can't we have a 'sticky' link which, when activated, takes you to whatever is the latest version?

And the same for BCC?

[mattallen37]

Here is a direct download link to the latest EFW at the time of writing this. Go to here for all the latest test releases and EFW versions. They are all dated, so always just go with the newest one.

Amazing, do share the result What needs to be implemented? I suppose the sensor does the TCP/IP stuff already?

guys,
I think it would be better to keep this wish list thread free from discussions and interjections...
just open a new thread in such a case of interest!
