(...) I would have ascribed it to the USB to serial converter, but I also see this on the Sun with a real serial port. This is what makes me think it's a problem with my RCX or IR tower.

(...) downloading (...) I don't see any strange behaviour here; the hinky USB-to-serial interface is going to be your culprit. I had no problems using NQC on my PowerCenterPro (PowerComputing Macintosh clone) with a direct serial interface, but when (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Curious problem with download
|

I just got Mindstorm set, and since I do not have a PC, NQC seemed like a great place to start. I tried Mac NQC and did not get very far downloading the RCX firmware. Every attempt resulted in the IR tower not seeing the RCX. I have a G3 blue and (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

In NCQ & RCX Code, "Off" is the closest one gets to "locking" a motor. It will resist being turned, but in a crane application I can envision enough force to externally turn the shaft. You can prevet this from happening by including a worm gear in (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

is there a command for ncq the lock a motor in place, sorta opposite to the float command? I have a arm that i have made and it sits sorta like a crane with a motor to rotate it up and down. Problem is i need it to stop at the bottom to pick an (...) (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) There's a fairly good example of proximity detection on Simen Svale Skogsrud's site. He posted a proximity task in NQC with his vector rover example. The direct link to the code is (URL) Ian Warfield (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Scout support in 2.1 b3 is identical to 2.1 b2 (except for a bug fix). Some info is given in the README: (URL) information is in the file scout.txt included with the distribution.

(...) That's really a question for Dave, not me. But the answer is: yes, there is support, but it's not finalized. There's a file called 'scout.txt' in the distribution that explains things more fully. (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
