Hi! well, I am missing something in an otherwise great RcxCC... Variable values display in dec/hex/binary would be great, as converting by hand every time is tedious. thanks /Vlad (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I am not sure if there is such a wishlist... I remember there was a "call for wishes" for RxCC... The biggest problem with the standard firmware is the small amount of variables.

Our first RCX has a sensor port failure on port 3 (Aaaarghhh...). The sensor port will read 0 and 1 only. It can react with the touch, light and rotation sensors (showing 0 or 1), so it somehow still senses if a sensor is present. We have no idea (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) NQC doesn't use spirit.ocx, so if you're just using the command line version of NQC, don't worry about spirit.ocx. However, if you're using RcxCC, then you'll need to make sure spirit.ocx is installed. Dave Baum (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

You could try using NQC (or MacNQC) and see if it works any better. I know in the long run you want to get Robolab working, but testing MacNQC would at least separate a Robolab-only problem from more general problems (serial port problems, cables, (...)
