Chris, Thanks for asking these questions. I think this has been discussed before, but it is always good to rehash this at least for the .trainheads! I think that remote train operation and LDCC etc is very exciting but perhaps only for the strong (...) (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

(...) Chris, I'm not up on my trolly design. Can you explain or show pictures of the "lights" and "trolly poles" You can not use NQC and LDCC. It's like running two operating systems on your PC. Only one works at a time. Steve (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

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 (...)
