You'll need to either get the RCX 2.0 software or use NQC. As far as I know no one has (yet) managed to use the IrDa port and I believe Vista doesn't support Serial ports... you might try a USB to Serial converter, but that doesn't always work. (...) (17 years ago, 3-Mar-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I will check into this when I get home this evening but I think your problem may be that BricxCC and NBC do not automatically download the .RIC files referenced in the program source code. Those must be downloaded manually, which you can (...) (17 years ago, 3-Mar-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

I'm just getting started with bricxcc (and winxp on my mac), so I'm hoping there's something painfully obvious I'm missing. I've compiled and run a few simple nbc and nxc programs (mostly from John's book), but invaders.nbc isn't working for me. I (...)

(...) I emailed Karen with the solution to her problem. This can trip you up if you aren't careful. Drawing values to the screen can confuse you if you draw over the top of an existing number without clearing the screen first. John Hansen (17 years ago, 29-Feb-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Hi John, We're using the HiTechnic sensor. I've contacted you directly with a copy of the program, and here it is if anyone else has an idea for us: task main() { SetSensorLowspeed(IN_2); int dir; ClearScreen (); TextOut (32, 48, "Heading:"); (...)

Hi, this is a very good solution! I really like the way this is done, even if it uses 2 sensor ports. The use of the double gear boxes to close the fingers at the same time is very nice! Really great work, excellent end effector solution. Eric (...) (17 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
