| (...) If you don't want to change firmware, Dave Baum's NQC is your best bet. Check out (URL) for more info. You'll get more power using LegOS, but NQC is still quite capable. (25 years ago, 14-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Alternatives for NQC Event Support

| RCX 2.0 adds firmware support for events and resource acquisitiion. The primitives are rather straight-forward. For events, one command beings event monitoring on a set of events, another stops monitoring. If a monitored event occurs, control is (...) (24 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Re: Monitor() and Event()

Monitoring stops when control leaves the monitor statement, so something like this: while(true) { monitor(EVENTS) { } catch { } } will miss a lot of events. You need to configure the events using (...) (24 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
