 | | Positioning with the RCX - a pragmatic approach

THE QUESTION ... ... how to determine and measure a position in a room? This question was raised several times in LUGNET (e.g. Kris Zabriskie) and caused some discussions. As it has been stated, this simple sounding task is not at all trivial and (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Thanks to everyone who helped out with my problem, it's much appreciated! The problem was not having the firmware loaded, which I was able to download to the RCX using the latest version of MacNQC. I had an earlier version of MacNQC which wasn't (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Joystick function in RCXCC

Is it possible to device a task that will keep a motor running for as long as a joystick button is pressed? Or do I have to write a prog. for my computer instead of one for the CM? I guess it would be possible using the spirit.ocx (a directx control (...) (24 years ago, 1-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) It is now. :) I'm guessing you're seeing an outdated copy of the HOWTO, as there's now a decent section about LNP. But don't take my word for it, since I'm kind of biased, being the author of that particular section. Anyway, you can jump (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I have just switched from NQC to LegOS and need to write some messaging code. However the this section of legOS is not very well documented. LNP - LegOS Network Protocol Don't have much information about this section yet, anyone who can shed some (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Actually, I think Bob's problems came from not having firmware installed. Hopefully things will start working once he gets firmware loaded. But there *are* cases of some strange serial behavior between Macs and the IR tower. My 300MHz (...) (24 years ago, 30-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Yep. Thats the exact same PowerBook that I have, even down to the speed. I never could get it to talk to the IR Tower. The same IR Tower would talk to the older SE/30 with no problems. It may be a volage problem, or it may have something to do (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) My guess is that firmware isn't installed yet - judging by your later posts, you reached the same conclusion yourself. Dave Baum (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I'm guessing that you are using an older version of MacNQC, which only recognized certain file types as firmware files. Because the various ways of getting firmware (off a PC CD, download from web) result in different file types, this wasn't a (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
