[Nxtcommand-developers] rolyv19: modified Keep-Alive thread in NXTCommRXTX and NXTCommSun open() method.

[Peter J. <ptg...@ch...>]

Hi Rolyv19,

I saw your Keep-Alive thread commited to subversion.

The only thing the Keep Alive command does is read the "sleep" setting (in
msec).
Ok, you may send Keep Alive commands (or any other command) just before the
NXT is falling asleep.
But why not set the "sleep" setting on your brick manually to "never" (value
= 0).

A desciption of the commands can be found at:

Download the The Advanced Progamming Guide. I thinks this is a very fine
resource.
The BDK only describes the command layout. Not giving any "good"
explanation.

Personally, I had a hard time figuring out from the BDK what combinations of
enumerations
can be used for what sensor. This guide gives an explanation.
