 | | converting Mac to PC and the Lego remote
|
|
Are there any reference pages that show how to convert nqc from a Mac to a PC version, vice versa? Or perhaps a program that will do it? I am also having some trouble with the Lego remote. It can send messages to a RCX, but I only am able to do this (...) (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The op-code for sending a message is $F7 "set message". Unfortunately somehow it is left out of spirit.ocx, so you have to go down to the serial protocol in order to use it. See (URL) for the details. If you want to stick to spirit.ocx, you (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I haven't used CyberMaster myself, but I know someone was able to get it working with a Mac. CyberMaster expects DTR to be asserted and RTS to be cleared. I'm not sure if "asserted" means +9 or -9. I know data lines (TXD, RXD) are inverted, but I (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Quick question: is there a way for the rcx to send data to the PC (and possibly vice versa)? I have a scanner base built, and ideally I would like a way to communicate with the RCX, with the PC controlling the movement of the scanner. I could (...)

Teaching with Robolab at the college level, I'd like to use the NCQ environment in class. I'd also like to use the RcxCC "wrapper" since I perceive it to be a little more "user friendly" at their level. Problem is that the new Robolab Version 1.5 (...)

(...) 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)
