 | | NQC API

I've been using NQC a bit ... and when the NQC 2 Request was posted, I got to thinking ... What about making a standard API that is not changed (except for officially) and a 'macro library' that can be added to and downloaded off of a website or (...)

(...) The remote control always sends the same sort of packet: d2 xx yy where xxyy is a sixteen bit bit-field indicating what features should be activated: xxyy 0001 Message 1 0002 Message 2 0004 Message 3 0008 Motor A Forward 0010 Motor B Forward (...)

(...) This is why it might be nice to get the remote control reverse engineered -- we may discover a way. (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) RCX contains 5 programs. Each program can have up to 10 tasks and 8 subroutines. Only one program may run at any given time, multitasking is between tasks in the same program. There is no known programmatic way of transferring control from one (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I wouldn't mind hosting a NQC lego code repository on Maktos.com. I have plenty of space, so you could send me pictures, code, articles, news, whatever you want. I'll put it all up in its own area. I have a really nice server with plenty of space (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Not each using the _total_ max of course. But yeah. (...) Yep. I do this all the time. I often make a with-sound and a silent version, for example. It's also nice if you have a version of your program which works well but you want to make some (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Now you have ME wondering. Can we build 5 programs each with 10 tasks, each of these programs using all of the RAM, max program space, etc.? I have yet to do anything that ambitious, but it would be cool to switch behaviours by just changing (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I believe that there's a maximum of ten tasks. So it would be a coincidence, but it isn't. :) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I am curious to clarify something. The NQC documentation states that an NQC program can have up to 5 tasks (I think that's the right number). In addition, the brick itself has the 5 program slots. Are they related or is it a coincidence of (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
