Teaching with Robolab at the college level, I'd like to use the NCQ environment in class. I'd also like to use the RcxCC "wrapper" since I perceive it to be a little more "user friendly" at their level. Problem is that the new Robolab Version 1.5 (...)

Our first RCX has a sensor port failure on port 3 (Aaaarghhh...). The sensor port will read 0 and 1 only.
