|
| (...) Your understanding is correct. So why doesn't everybody use BrickOS? There are at least two reasons that I am aware of: 1. Many people, especially "non-programmers" find a full-blown C++ implementation to be intimidating and non-user-friendly. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) As long as you are using OS X you'll be fine. NQC includes its own driver code for working with the USB tower under OS X. For Mac OS 9.x you'll need to install a driver from Lego. You'll also need to download firmware to the RCX. MacNQC can (...) (21 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: rcx unit

| You need a computer and either a serial or USB IR tower to download the firmware into the RCX unit before it will respond to the remote control. If all you want to do is drive the motor outputs, you don't need any programming. Also, it doesn't have (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| Thanks for the response. (...) It seems to me it's a design flaw in the entire method of counting rotations, which relies on the theoretical ideal of "instantaneous" voltage changes, which can't be produced. You can't go from 2V to 5V without (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
