 | | NQC wishlist
|
|
I am not sure if there is such a wishlist... I remember there was a "call for wishes" for RxCC... The biggest problem with the standard firmware is the small amount of variables. Since not every use of a variable will use all 16 bits, I think it (...) (25 years ago, 22-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) NQC doesn't use spirit.ocx, so if you're just using the command line version of NQC, don't worry about spirit.ocx. However, if you're using RcxCC, then you'll need to make sure spirit.ocx is installed. Dave Baum (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

If I remember correctly, you can download spirit.ocx from the mindstorms internet site. I'm not sure if the 1.5 software installs it to HD, the 1.0 did. I never bothered to install the 1.5 upgrade CD. Arjen Dave Crabbe wrote in message ... (...) (25 years ago, 21-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I installed the lego robolab ver 1.5 s/w from the CD and now want to install the NCQ program which uses spirit.ocx. However, I don't seem to have spirit.ocx on my system. Why did ther ver 1.5 s/w from lego not download the OCX to my hard disk? Will (...) (25 years ago, 20-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Dear Mark (and fellow readers) Sorry for jumping the gun - I just saw that RcxCC 3.0 has ability to send messages to RCX. Thanks again - Lars (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Interfacing w/windows programs would be great, but I would be happy with something simpler: a facility to send and receive IR messages (...) (25 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) You can use the -raw option for nqc to send raw commands (including the poll command) to the RCX. Not pretty, but it works in a pinch. As for libraries, I'm not sure what qualifies as "cute", but within NQC, all of the RCX communication is (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.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)
