| Create a program that can send large values through the RCX mail system. |
|
Mail values are limited to 255. However, the program below is a sample of a simple method to get around that. This is the send program:   This is the receive program:   The program breaks the big number into three two digit sections and then puts it back together on the other side. The program also waits for the receive function to send a mail value to indicate that it is ready to receive data. Since the largest number that you can put into a container is 2^15 or 32768 it can only deal with values up to that. * Extra credit: make it so that it does not matter which one is run first and then convert it to a VI ** Double bonus: modify it so that it can handle numbers larger than 2^15 Note: NXT hardware does not have a mail function.
