RCX COMMAND CENTER
==================
I am happy to announce Version 2.0 of the RCX Command
Center. Version 2.0 is a major improvement over Version 1.0
with many new and extended features.
RCX Command Center is a Windows (95, 98, NT) program that
assist you in programming the Lego MindStorms Robots. It
provides a higher level interface to the RCX, the
programmable brick that forms the heart of the Lego Robots.
(CyberMaster support is added but has not been tested.)
RCX Command Center is based on the NQC language and
compiler written by Dave Baum. NQC is in my opinion
the easiest and most powerful way to program the RCX. The
main window of the RCX Command Center is an editor for this
language. The editor color-codes the syntax of the language,
and commands and language constructions can be added with
one mouse click. Multiple files can be edited. From the
editor you can call the compiler and download the code to
the robot.
RCX Command Center version 2.0 has many further
functionalities, like an improved window to watch what is
going on in the robot, a window to control the robot
directly, a window to contol it with the joystick, a window
for diagnostics, a window to let the RCX make music, and
tools for downloading firmware, etc. The new version also
has full on-line help, both on the program and on
the language NQC.
RCX Command Center can be used free of charge. You can
download it here:

Have fun, and inform me about your experiences, bugs found,
and wishes for the next release.
