Re: NXT 2.0 Hanging in this function...

...er...well, I said it'd be something simple - I'd declared the array (strArrOptions[]) that was to hold the string options as an integer...oops...I'd even named it with str at the front!!! [puffs out cheeks] I think my response to that is spherical and in the plural...clearly time to quit coding f...

NXT 2.0 Hanging in this function...

Hello, can somebody shed some light on this for me, please? I've done as much banging my head against it as I can - I imagine it's something quite straight forward, embarrassingly... string optMenu(string strPrompt, string strOptions) { int intIndex = 0; int intOptions = 0; int intOptStart = 0; int ...

Re: NXT-G 2.1 Bug?

lol
Ah, the plaintive cry of the experienced developer :lol:

To be honest, I usually code in NXC and it's great - I'd ditch NXT-G in an instant for this project if I was allowed to...

Thanks for a dose of reality :)

Re: NXT-G 2.1 Bug?

Thanks for that - I'll give it a try.

Bit of a disappointment to find problems in NXT-G, though :(

Re: NXT-G 2.1 Bug?

Thanks for your reply - what I mean is this: 1. A "motor" or "move" block is used with the following settings: Motor A Turn Clockwise 0.25 Seconds Duration Next Action = COAST 2. Motor A turns clockwise for 0.25 seconds 3. Motor A then turns anticlockwise back to it's "zero&...

NXT-G 2.1 Bug?

Hello, I've just started using v2.1 of NXT-G and I'm having a lot of problems with motor control. Motors set to "Coast" reset to their original position and there seems to be no way of disabling this action. I've tried getting around this by setting motors to start in one block, then stop ...

Re: NXC Error : Invalid Opcode : stopthread

Hello, thanks very much for your help with this - I tried to download the firmware into the NXT a second time, but with no apparent change in the NXT behaviour, so I left it overnight and tried again this morning...it worked first time, so that was a relief :) I was beginning to wonder how I was goi...

Re: NXC Error : Invalid Opcode : stopthread

I'm running version 3.3.8.9 of BCC - is there a newer version?

I can't download the new firmware into the NXT again, as the NXT now won't turn on...it just ticks.

Re: NXC Error : Invalid Opcode : stopthread

Hello,

OK, so I took a risk and flashed the firmware to version lms_arm_nbcnxc_131.rfw - the flashing process finished successfully, but now the NXT is unresponsive and just "ticks"...

How do I recover the NXT now?

Thanks,

paul

Re: NXC Error : Invalid Opcode : stopthread

Hi John,

the NXT unit I'm using isn't actually mine - I'm just borrowing it.

If somebody wanted to reprogramme the unit using NXT-G, would they still be able to?

Where can I get hold of the updated firmware? Can I upload it into the NXT using Bricx-CC?

Thanks for your help again,

Paul
