 | | Standard extension suggestions
|
|
I suggest that we collectively create a standard extension package that makes life a little simpler for beginners or maybe for developers in general. I have already started what I would use but it occured to me that this might be of general value. (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

There is still a problem when nqc uses the first three global variables if you also want to use a counter. The current solution is to make the first int lines reflect the fact that they will be used as counters. #Define COUNTER_1 0 int count1 int (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | New firmware and ROBOLAB
|

Hi, LEGO has got a new firmware version for the RCX. (URL) is still alpha, but I want to know if firm0326.lgo runs with ROBOLAB. Ralf (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

| | Datalog with NQC 2.2 a1
|
|
Hi, has anybody tested the datalog with NQC 2.2 a1. Since the file firm0326.lgo is larger than the file firm0309.lgo, surely fewer ram will remain for storing the datalog. Is there any chance to get the number of free space? Ralf (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi Dave, no there is no mistake in NQC. Sorry if I confused you. I 've found a mistake in my samples #5 to #8. I wanted to show that you can use a variable i as a parameter with the function Display(i, 0). My mistake was that I copied the code from (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Lego's concept of 'local' variables are variables that are context swapped per task, as opposed to the normal variables that are not context swapped (all tasks share the same vars). Thus, 'local' RCX variables are local to the task. This is a (...) (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
