(...) Hi Kenny, Spirit.ocx can only be used with the serial tower. RIS 2.0 contains a USB-tower, so spirit.ocx doesn't work anymore. Have a look at this message. (URL) a replacement for spirit.ocx is announced. Regards, Rainer (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello.. I've just upgraded my RIS 1.0 to version 2.0 and it appears Lego have stopped using the Spirit.ocx. I'm a little confused, I've used the spirit.ocx within Macromedia Director in the past to write interfaces and programs to control my RCX. (...) (22 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Sorry, no. That's the one difference; it no longer says error deleting program and I don't get any errors when downloading to the RCX. I always use firmdl3 -s because using just firmdl3 on its own never works for me. I still have the problem that (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

After making the change, do you still get "Error deleting program"? or other errors while downloading the program? Your assumption is correct, it will only switch to a program slot if there is a valid program there. I had problems sending programs (...) (22 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

The only thing I could think of is if NQC thinks you are generating code for some other device (e.g. CyberMaster). Try adding -Trcx2 to the command line to force NQC to target RCX2. If that doesn't fix it, email me the program and I'll take a look. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
