| | Communication with PC using NQC
|
| Hi all! Having a touch of flu, I might be asking a FAQ here... if so, sorry. How can the RCX communicate with the PC, except by SendMessage? The Spirit.ocx has the Poll functionality to ask for RCX state - is there any similar stuff in NQC? And are (...) (25 years ago, 5-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| (...) Another case would be where you also want to use IR for doing radar. If you had IR messages bouncing around for both radar and communication, it might confuse the radar algorithm or generate incorrect readings. (You'd also have to reserve a (...)

| (...) Actually, the sensors run on 9V too. Why would you not want to use the IR port to get them to cooperate? The "message" system built into them makes this the IDEAL way to communicate, expecially since you won't be tying up a sensor input or a (...) (25 years ago, 3-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
