Hi,
I don't see this as a matter of choice. It really depends on what you want to
do with your robots. NQC programs are executed directly on the RCX and needs no
communication with the PC, whereas programs written in VB using SPIRIT.OCX are
executed partly on the PC (sending instructions to the RCX via the IR-tower)
and partly on the RCX when executing those instructions sent.
I have to disagree with Matthew Miller that communication between the PC and
the RCX is inconvenient. The computational power of the RCX is not that great
and leaves little room for advanced decision making, search algorithms, neural
networks, etc. I'd say that a combination of NQC and VB is the most practical
when making complex behavoir. However, you have to keep the RCX within
IR-communications range and your PC turned on.

| Hi all. I've been lurking in the shadows reading posts for a couple of weeks and now have a question of my own. I'd like to move beyond the programming capabilities of the RIS software and am trying to decide which way to go. I have VERY little (...) (25 years ago, 26-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
