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'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 (...)

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)
