  Re: problems using arrays in NQC
 
Hi, you have to tell BricxCC/NQC that you are compiling for the RIS 2.0 firmware. To do this, select "RCX2" in the "Searching for the brick" window that appears at startup (you can also make this the default value in Preferences>Startup). (...)

  problems using arrays in NQC
 
hi I'm building a lego turing machine and in the code certain data values need to be taken into an integer array. (sepcifically, inputing a binary no. using light sensor and a stack of yellow and black bricks). However, the program didn't compile (...) (23 years ago, 27-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Need help with NQC
 
I just wrote a program and I can't get it to work. I download it to the RCX and it just runs its motors. I look at the display and push on the bumper and it has those little triagles. So it is not hardware because the RCX reads that the bumper in (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Scout programming
 
I used BricXCC and the USB tower to program the Scout. I was wondering how the programming was done by NQC. Are the Scout and RCX command sets compatible? How so? Or does NQC translate and assemble differently depending on target brick? There are (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Final RFC on next legOS release (would have been legOS 0.2.6)
 
Concerning the name change, call for ideas and a vote, I would suggest that a NEW thread entitled similar to "Call for legOS name change" be created in lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos. The details when worked out and as outlined in the rlswork doc should (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: Deleting Programs
 
That would be great. Thanks Mark! Obviously, it will be prudent to make some or all of these optional at compile time... but I believe at least half of them are useful for most users. Anyone have an idea of priority on this addition? Should it be (...) (23 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: is it possible to use a polarity switch with a RCX input?
 
(...) But... be aware that the 'polarity switch' has only two connectors (for two sets of wires). It's not a '3-way' where you can try to select one of two inputs by moving the lever.

  Another LegOS Feature - Combo Sensor
 
With the latest surge of interest in updating LegOS, I’d like to offer an idea that I think would be nice to add.
