NQC works like a charm. I take it Ubuntu users prefer a IDE to
simplify things. But coding in NQC is not so bad. Open up gedit and
code away!

So, I am delurking after a year or so to ask if anyone has seen a good way
to
work with the RCX on Linux. I have available to me RS232 and USB towers, RCX
versions 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0, ROBOLAB versions 1.0 through 2.9 (plus bug fix),
RIS2.0, as well as any free or relatively cheap (<$20) hardware and
software. I
am not picky about language, as I was playing around with ROBOLAB, NQC, and
leJOS a year ago when I was still running XP.

I have tried to run ROBOLAB 2.9 under Wine with no success, but I am more
than
willing to try again if someone else has had success. For reference, my dev
platform will likely be my Compaq Presario V6000 with 2GB RAM running Ubuntu
8.04 with kernel version (as of this post) 2.6.24-19.

The reason I have suddenly come up with this issue is that, as a moving-away
present, the teacher in charge of the FLL team I used to mentor gave me
roughly
half of their generous collection which, when combined with my own
substantial
kit, presents too great a temptation to leave dormant. Plus, I want to build
a
series of plant-maintainers for my dorm room, to aid in the struggle to stay
sane through >5 months of winter... ;-P
