|

I've made a preliminary man page for nqc 2.2. (URL) (Hastily converted to HTML at (URL).) It mentions 2.2.r1 -- my thinking is to target the man page at the actual releases, not the alpha.... Comments? Errors? (24 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I think this would be a good idea, even if they never incorporated into the "official" kernel. Sort of a code repository similar to what has been proposed for NQC.

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)

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)

|
|
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.
