(...) Dear Scott, Unfortunately it is still true that Interactive C does not support the USB-tower, but I am pretty sure this will be changed with the further releases (I recently bought a serial-tower at Shop.Lego for 16.99 Euro only!). But it (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Anyone got a link to the datasheet(s) for the H8 in the RCX? For example, the pinout of the thing. And details like how large the address space is. Also, does anyone have a "Memory Map" for the current RCT (i.e. this address range is ram, this (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Now this is a good idea. Basicly, a small simple socket that exposes the data bus, address bus and also some control bus lines (like Read/Write or whatever else is needed) plus power (obviously) would be perfect. One would need to have (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Here is the perfect idea: Basicly, the new RCX comes with several components: 1.sensors, motors and so on as now (perhaps with some new ones) 2.a large "base unit" that would have a good CPU, communication with the host PC for programming, LCD (...) (22 years ago, 6-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes. I'm running MacNQC on a G4 Powerbook with the USB tower - no complaints.

(...) Superficially, that seems true... but it falls apart as soon as you start dealing with dead-reconing errors. In practice, recovery from slew errors is significantly more difficult with a location grid-based mapping instead of an obstacle-based (...) (22 years ago, 5-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)
