I have put "fast0103.lgo" on web page. It appears that web page on my ISP (drjsoftware.com) doesn't match the local copy on my PC's hard drive. It will take me a few days to update. I'm also planning to release a firmware update in the same (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Here's the problem! I don't have fast0103.lgo, on swan's site there's only version 1.01. I think using that firmware (where can we find it?) and new NQC API all my problems are solved. About driving servo: to generate PWM for servo motors a (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) This is the old-style Swan API which is deprecated. The Swan API built into NQC uses MotorPower128(n) and SetMotorPower128(n, m). With the latest version of NQC you no longer need to include the old swan.nqh header file. The old swan.nqh file (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Exception error 40 is intended to indicate that you've tried to write to an invalid source parameter value. "Source parameter" is the first byte of an internal interpreter variable (0 is variable, 2 is constant, etc). If you send me the NQC source I (...)
