(...) 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 (...)

|

Hello, Is it possible to use a PC's IR port, instead of the IR tower, to communicate with an RCX? (I have a Dell Inspiron 3500). -- Brad Aisa baisa@NOSPAMbrad-aisa.com -- PGP public keys available at: (URL) faire." (26 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I can think of two other possibilities: The best approach is probably to add more gears so that the motors don't have to work as hard to move the platform. The platform will move more slowly, but at least it will move at all. (Hmm... That (...) (26 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) These solutions bring up problems of their own: using a motor to operate a switch (battery box or Lego switch) requires monitoring the switch state to determine on/off status. Also, there will be a time delay while the motor moves from one (...) (26 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) 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 (...)

WEs, I'm unclear about your problem. Are you using the MIndstorms type motors?? Others? What current do your motors draw, at what voltage? (26 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) 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 (...) (26 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
