  Communication with PC using NQC
 
Hi all! Having a touch of flu, I might be asking a FAQ here... if so, sorry. How can the RCX communicate with the PC, except by SendMessage? The Spirit.ocx has the Poll functionality to ask for RCX state - is there any similar stuff in NQC? And are (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Communication with PC using NQC
 
(...) You can use the -raw option for nqc to send raw commands (including the poll command) to the RCX. Not pretty, but it works in a pinch. As for libraries, I'm not sure what qualifies as "cute", but within NQC, all of the RCX communication is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Communication with PC using NQC
 
(...) Thanks for the explanation. So, it's back to the basics! ;-) I did not explain my question very well, I think. What I would like to do is to steer the RCX from the PC, by querying its state and send it high-level commands (for example to make (...)

  Re: Communication with PC using NQC
 
(...) Could you be more specific on "querying its state" and "high-level commands"? If you're willing to write custom C++ code, you can pretty much do whatever you want on top of the rcxlib stuff from the NQC source base. Its pretty easy to send (...)

(...) Taking the example of the maze-walker, the PC software should be able to keep track of the position of the robot and direct it through the maze. (...) Yes, I looked at the code and it only needs a higher-level wrapper. (...) Yes, it does, (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
