OK, so I made a trolley go back and forth using NQC and my RCX. My wife's response to this was, "I that why you wanted a Mindstorms set?" Her tone implied that while whe thought it was cool, she also thought that I had just reached a new level of (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

Last night I decided to redesign my point to point trolley program. I decided to connect the three RCX outputs in parallel (as suggested by some of LDCC documentation). I also decided to use one of sensor inputs to set the power setting. When I (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Recently I happened across the MindScript headers for the RCX in the SDK and saw some interesting macros for RCX communication. I decided to port them to NQC and possibly add them to the official built-in NQC API. I would be extremely grateful if (...)
