Hy I'm the author of MLCad and I'm dreaming a bit now. My idea was to write a program which is able to program the CyberMaster and the RCX brick. To construct the program I though I might use something like building blocks one for each possible (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) <snipped description of new environment for RCX/Cybermaster> (...) Michael, I just downloaded mlCAD and find it an excellent bit of software. The rendering of each step is a bit slow unless you turn on wireframes, but that's not so bad. My 7 (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Michael, You can program the RCX and CyberMaster with quite many languages (such as Visual J++, Visual C++, Visual Basic) using the spirit.ocx. Also the RCX ControlCenter with NQC is pretty good. (The legOS would be the ultimate thing, but it's more (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Michael Lachmann skrev i meddelandet ... (...) I have started thinking about such a program many times since I and the kids (9 and 12) got our CyberMaster kit, but nothing has come out of it yet :-( I think it would be a good thing for kids, (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I have to have a look at it, but as it looks it would have the nice and easy interface known from Lego's RCX programmer but with all functions provided by the spirit.ocx. And it would work under NT as well :-) Mike Ensio Tammi wrote in message ... (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'd second that, except maybe reversing the order. I'd definitely use a Linux version. (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I think Ralph has good advice. I personally wouldn't use a graphical block building programming interface. I hate the RCX Code software that comes with the RIS. I've been using NQC under Windows NT and have been very pleased with it. A better (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

legOS runs fine under the cygwin environment in NT- I finally even tried it myself :) Was there a specific problem that you were having in the porting? The cygnus install is not straightforward- I'll be the first to admit that- but if you are (...) (25 years ago, 5-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Luis, The main problem is that I'm using the gnuwin32 environment instead of the cygwin (and I have lot of programs made with gnuwin32 so it's not wise either to port them to cygwin rather set up a secondary c/c++ environment). I was quite surprised (...) (25 years ago, 6-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
