(...) And even beyond this, John has added some enhancements to the FW, so that it will target the standard FW or the modified FW that John has built things into. Correct, John? (17 years ago, 24-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) NXC provides all the features available to you in NXT-G, including all the items you mention, plus many that you cannot access in that programming language. It is freely available and it targets the standard NXT firmware. John Hansen (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi all, I recently got an NXT and have been having a blast. The iconic programming environment is driving me up a tree, however. So I'm looking for something else, but I'd like to avoid evaluating them all -- thus I turn to you for advice. I'm also (...) (17 years ago, 23-Aug-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
