Sorry if I was not clear. nqcc works PERFECTLY on COM3 (first channel of the
Equinox board). The original Mindstormes software (and the RCXCC software)
do NOT work on this port. I was hoping this would be some kind of big clue
for Mark (what is different between how nqcc uses the port, and how both
Mindstorms and RCXCC use it ?).
The original Mondstorms software finds the IR tower OK, but says "RCX
communicaion failure" whenever you test the RCX. No functions will work
without getting past this hangup.
A similar situation occurs with RCXCC. It cannot find the RCX on this port
(COM3) but it works pefectly on COM1.
I have used NQC to compile and download through COM3 quite happily, and was
disappointed to see that RCXCC did not work there. I thought it might be
hardware handshaking or something, but that is all configured according to
the serial port properties display.
Does NQC not require any specific type of flow control on this port
(hardware or XON/XOFF) ??
Mark, does RCXCC require any ?
Maybe hardware flow control on my serial card is the problem...
