For some reason I'm having a problem downloading with NQC. I previously had the serial tower set up at the end of a track. The rcx on my robot goes up and down it. I used to have occasional problems with the IR comms, but I'd change the battery and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) This probably isn't it, but if you're using the command line, have you included the -Susb parameter to tell NQC you're using USB? (This will takes ages to post as my email isn't working, so sorry if you have 5 other replies before this one...) (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Possibly you are experiencing a problem with the USB Tower driver which I have heard several other users report. Other users who had this problem were able to fix it by editing the USB Tower timeout values using the LEGO USB Tower Control (...) (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Your correct, it isn't that. I know all about -Susb, because I'm using a serial and a usb tower simultaneously with respective rcx's. One sets in a box so their is no IR crossover. I have swapped over the towers. The USB worked perfectly in (...) (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Why couldn't it be that if the firmware downloads? When I download my firmware, it's completely seperate from when I download nqc progs. Hope you get it sorted soon. (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Ok, your right they are separate, so that if I left the second -Susb out, my program wouldn't download via the USB tower, but would go to my other RCX via the serial tower. My batch-file is this: nqc -Susb -firmfast c:\newrcx~1.lgo nqc -Susb (...) (19 years ago, 22-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Can you post the output generated by NQC when you add -v to the command line? nqc -Susb -TRCX2 -v -d filename.nqc > output.txt Or you could just email it to me directly. John Hansen (19 years ago, 24-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I tried adding -v & > output.txt but it didn't work. All it did was light up the towers LED for a bit then quit back to the command line. It did work when I used -v, showing all the sent bytes, but the download still failed. I also managed to (...) (19 years ago, 24-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
