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)
