(...) I'm not the expert on this but... I've been playing with firmware 2.0 and I think you can read the state of your sensors directly. (The same way you read the Battery level? Dave?) Hopefully Dave will answer you for sure. Dean -- Coin-Op's For (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Q: Determining state of outputs
|

Hello everybody! For the building of my next robot an answer to the following question could be very helpful: Is there any possibility in NQC to get the state of an output (on, off, direction). While running a program I would like to control one (...) (25 years ago, 13-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Safest thing is a multi-step process: 1. Announce that a new group/list lugnet.robotics.nqc will soon be replacing lugnet.robotics.nqc (i.e., a "heads-up"). 2.

(...) Yep, you can #ifdef however you want, and NQC supports -D and -U options on the command line that allow you to define (or undefine) symbols before the compile takes place. This is handy if you're using Makefiles, but even in an ordinary shell (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I definitely intended to mean portable source. And that the "__FIRMWARE" would be used in compiler directives rather than in the code. It is a simple matter for me to define my own __FIRMWARE (or anything else, right?) and do #ifdef's to my heart's (...) (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) This seems reasonable to me. Plus, it has the added benefit of being inherently open: source is all about "here's how to do this"; binaries are "here's a thing that does this". It's nice to encourage the first attitude. (25 years ago, 9-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) This first define (__RCX = 2) will happen automatically in NQC when you select RCX 2.0 as the target for compilation. Selecting an RCX 1.0 target will cause the symbol to be defined as 1. (...)

Have you considered adding the firmware build version to that symbol or to a new one? __RCX = 2 __FIRMWARE=3.21 This would facilitate creation of portable, work-around code that would accomodate an end-user who hasn't updated their firmware (or has (...)
