Besides of NQC manual (which is REALLY comprehensive) is at (URL) good NQC tutorial written by Mark Overmars. It's quite old so there can be some dead links, but in fact, it helped me to start with NQC. If you know Pascal, I think it's good starting (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi, src/rcx.[ch] and rcx/remote.c. This may sound stupid but I was wondering if you have to download both these files to the rcx? Anyhelp would be great Thanks Andrew ___...___ Chat online in real time with MSN Messenger (URL) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Did you considered that the RCX has only integer variables. So, the allowed operation range is -32768 32767. If at any stage of your operation you exceed these limits, the result will be corrupted. For the use of sine and cosine with integer (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Several posts have speculated about the use and necessity of the "header" bytes used by standard RCX messaging. Hopefully this post provides definitive information on the topic. The ROM firmware uses a 30 milli-second inter-character timer. If if is (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Jeff, Your problem is with the 16 bit integer size that NQC uses. All integers are in the range -32768 to 32767. Using 10000 to simulate fixed point math operations is killing you. Everything works when you replace theta and D with constants because (...) (22 years ago, 2-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) You need to compile remote.c for the RCX, that's the part running on the RCX. rcx.c and rcx.h define an interface for your application to use the functions provided in remote.h.
