It's obviously not happening anytime soon. My EV3 is sort of sitting on the shelf.

I'm retracting my bounty at the end of February.

Very nice!

You seem to be using the kernel interface directly.
Do you have any plans to release a more general library?
I'm really having trouble with IIC for the US sensor.

I dug up some example for using mutexes: #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> pthread_mutex_t mutex; int number = 0; void *dostuff(void *arg) { while (1) { pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); number++; pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); } } int main(void) { pthread_t tid; pthread_m...

As people already said: The only way is to modify the makefile. Just add the effing flag to the file. Threads are hard to use correctly. You would be better of using a single loop to control the screen and the motors. The EV3 C stack is very much alpha, so IMO you should not use it if you don't want...

The assembler itself can be found here: https://github.com/mindboards/ev3source ... embler.jar

Very good find! I wonder indeed if the C program can access the sensors without freaking out lms. Possibly, this program could communicate over stdio with the system call and control the motors and sensors. That'd be a lot of work probably. Or maybe it could simply allow reverse arbitrary code execu...

Wild guess that this is how it's supposed to work: #include <pthread.h> // Multitasking-Demo: // 3 Motoren an die Motorausgänge A,B,C anschließen ! // die Motoren werden automatisch angesteuert, // die Encoderwerte werden simultan angezeigt! #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include "ev...

Read a bit about pthreads, they allow you to do premptive multitasking on the EV3. You need to link your program with -lpthread though. I'm not sure how you would do that in BrixCC #include <stdio.h> #include <pthread.h> main() { pthread_t f2_thread, f1_thread; void *f2(), *f1(); int i1,i2; i1 = 1; ...

In my limitted testing, I'm quite happy with the ouput API (when it doesn't panic the kernel :-) ) I have not yet tested rotating multiple motors synchronously at different speeds, but I assume it is properly supported. I have not seen anything like absolute position regulation, but that's not too i...

Ah, nice to hear the rationele of the designer himself :-) I didn't even notice there was a pin missing, but you're right. I see how i's great for racing, but for paralleel parking I might actually redo the front section without the steering wheel to decrease the tolerance. It could greatly improve ...
