Hi I'm working on a telerobotics project where I use various input devices an a PC to control a Mindstorms robot, equipped with a wireless video camera.

(...) In general, you don't have control over where the variables get placed. If necessary you can take advantage of the fact that globals are allocated consecutively starting at location 0, so in the above example, A refers to location 0. However, (...)

(...) I think RcxCC needs spirit.ocx in order to function. Spirit.ocx gets installed along with the regular mindstorms software, but there's probably a way to install it directly as well. Dave (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

However I am not sure how to read that variable "space" correctly. Here is what I am (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Rick, I believe that you take a battery out and turn the thing on, which will reset it to firmwareless mode. Then you just download the lego firmware to it as if you had just gotten a new rcx. Nick (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
