My recent project, with NQC, has started to demand calculations with fractional numbers. In an effort to do this, I have quickly come to know the sorted world of floating points, BCDs, 1 – 2 s complement etc. I realize the only way to go about all (...)

It's me again with some improvements for an "Electrical Data Link between 2 RCX". In the current version I changed the default condition of the link to "high" (in the transmitter: OFF(OUT_B)) so that the receiver has a 1 at its sensor input. So, you (...)

By "fastest", I assume you mean the smallest worst case latency between a condition happening and the RCX responding to it. Option #2 has the drawback that while the RCX is responding to one condition, it won't be looking for the other ones. So the (...) (24 years ago, 13-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
