I'd like to thanks everybody who helped me get my rcx up and running on
my Mac...  I am now using NQC though I will probably order Robolab
and/or IC in the near future just for the sake of having them.
I've found that NQC/MPW is a little buggy in OS8.5.1 with Virex 5.9
enabled.  After disabling Virex, everything seems to work fine (so far).
Being a car racer (and my racing season coming up soon), has anybody
tried making an accelerometer using a light sensor at the end of a
pendulum?  I'm thinking of having a light sensor at the end of a
pendulum, facing down on a flat grid of white/black stripes.  The more
stripes the light sensor passes through from the swinging pendulum, the
more G's the car is pulling.  Sound plausible?  Any better ideas?

(...) I use NQC/MPW in OS 8.5.1 all the time, so I'm pretty sure its not the OS itself that is a problem. What sort of bugs are you seeing? Dave (26 years ago, 5-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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)
