A few corrections/updates to my original post atnews:000501c701ed$...desktop... I was wrong in stating BricxCC does not support reading of all three NXT motor encoders. My comment was based on the BRicxCC "Wathcing the brick window; this is a legacy (...) (19 years ago, 10-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) In my experience (and usage), "dongle" is usually used as a derisive or semi-derisive term, much in the way "wall wart" is used to describe a power transformer with integrated plugs. Matt (19 years ago, 9-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Given the CPU power and hardware of the NXT, I see no reason why, say, the GNU ADA compiler couldn't be ported directly to output ARM assembler to run directly on the NXT (and then be used via a replacement firmware along with GCC, G++ etc) (19 years ago, 8-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)

|

On the RCX there was an Ada implementation, which worked by translating Ada to NQC. Does anyone know if there are any plans to make Ada available on NXT, perhaps in a similar manner? Thanks Andrew (19 years ago, 7-Nov-06, to lugnet.robotics)
