Hi All,

I just signed onto this list.  I got a mindstorms kit yesterday, but
have not had the chance to try using it because I don't have a wintel
box.  Actually, I bought the box for the raw materials used for a
physics project that my team is presenting to the Smithsonian Museum
next week.  As compensation, I get to keep the unused legos (cool).
For a person with some knowledge in c++, applescript, hypercard,logo,
and basic, what compiler would you recommend for a Mac user?  Where can
I find this compiler?
Has anybody been able to try using the Apple IRTalk port commonly found
on Powerbooks to talk to the RCX?
What kind of power supply should I use to power up my RCX--one sold by
Lego, or one from Radio Shack?  What voltage should I use?
Thanks for your replies!

(...) Several Mac/Mindstorms options are covered at: (URL) use NQC myself, although since I wrote it, I'm somewhat biased. If you are even slightly familiar with C syntax, NQC should be easy to pick up. The Apple IR port can run in two mode- one is (...) (26 years ago, 4-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
