Hello,

I have been working on a TextEdit v8 [see The Current Version] and i got to over 1090 lines, and it freezes my NXT when downloading. Why?

Why, indeed. Could it be that your program has reached the size where it will no longer fit in your NXT's memory?

Try removing some programs and such from the NXT, and then try again.

I have the compiler status turned on, and it just "forgets" to download the program, and that causes the NXT to freeze

I can not conceive how not downloading a program could have any effect on the NXT brick whatsoever. If nothing is downloaded at the end of a compilation, then surely the NXT brick's state is exactly what is was before the you did the compilation. Why would the NXT "freeze" if nothing changed?

On the other hand, having a download fail before it was complete might be a real problem. Are you sure that this isn't what is happening?

Try compiling first, then download the .rxe file. Go to Edit->Preferences->General->Save compiler output, and check it.

My SnakeWorm v1.0 has ~2K lines, and nxtboy_iii's NXT War Game* is huge. You can prevent the code from getting too large by setting the optimization level of the compiler to 2. Do this by: Edit->Preferences->Compiler->NBC/NXC->Optimization Level to "2".

Also I've seen a timeout option somewhere. I'll update with more info soon.
EDIT: Go to Edit->Preferences->Compiler->Common and increase the Timeout value until it compiles properly.

*Disclaimer: Not as good as COD. Mmmm... fish.

I have already set it to Level 2.



*Fish with hot-sauce!

Did you try the timeout? Set it to 99, or something:

What does that do?
