I'm embarassed to admit that I've posted yet another revised version of RcxCC to my website. Version 3.2.9.0 further extends the graphing ability I added in over the course of the two previous revisions. In this release it is possible to display a (...)

First, thanks a lot to continue the developpment of RcxCC. Your program is great ! I have a little problem with your program. I made a font for my own purpose (small, readable, all characters different). This font is not display correctly in your (...) (23 years ago, 20-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

hi John, (...) RCXcc / reset worked fine, that's a lot more extended then the orginal RCXcc ! (...) At the moment I'm building such an implementation, the main program is a kind of oscilloscope and the launched application is a controler for a (...)

hi John, looks good, but I can't use it yet. The main problem I have is that I can't see my templates. At once I found them, a window 10 pixels win width and 25 pixels in height, and I can't get it bigger. Am I doing something wrong ? Very nice (...)

Rather than postpone this upload until I'm completely done with the feature, I decided to make it available for anyone interested since I think it is turning out to be very nice. I've just posted version 3.2.7.3 of RcxCC (with the latest source) to (...) (23 years ago, 18-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

hi All, Version 1.0 is released and sources are published. Major improvements: - fast sampling ( 1 channel = 50 Hz / 2 channels = 33 Hz / 3 channels = 23 Hz / 4 channels = 18 Hz) - no spirit.ocx required - some bugs fixed have fun with it ! (...) (...)

Hi- This message is probably only answerable by Dave, but someone else might know the answer. I'm trying to build a GNOME (a linux GUI) application for controlling the RCX, ala the tools menu of RCXcc. Anyway, I wanted to know what files I would (...)

(...) I made PredictReplyLength a member of the RCXLink class so it can return a different value for case 0x20 (it returns 20 if the Target is Cybermaster and 0 if it is Scout - since the Scout doesn't support that opcode). Of course, in Object (...) (23 years ago, 11-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Predictive is relatively new, and I wasn't sure which code you started with (or how you ported/used it), so that's why I explained the dynamic timing. (...)

hi John, I'm curious to see your "Fakespirit" class. At this moment I only need a limit set of commands, so I send by a couple of simple routines to my serial commport driver (indepent thread).

The retry timing for RCX_Link uses a dynamic backoff, which is a good general purpose solution if you're going to be sending lots of packets (like a typical NQC download) and the latency through the serial driver is unknown and/or unpredictable (...)
