I'm a bit bored and this list has been very quiet. So what are you doing with NQC2 everybody? James P (24 years ago, 17-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Does RXCcc actually set the -T flag or use the default. If default then you can set the target with the environment variable. If you get really desperate you can hack nqc to ignore the -T flag and do what you want instead. I suggest more (...) (25 years ago, 9-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | No Scout Support in RCXcc
|
|
I've talked to the creator of RCXcc about Scout support. This is what he had to say; Mark Overmars wrote: "This is not planned for the near future." There you have it. Sadly, from what I can gather, all we need RCXcc to do is use the -SCOUT tag (...) (25 years ago, 9-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I got e-mail a while back from mikest@corp.home.net who ported an older version of NQC to BEOS. I think the only change was a new serial port class (PSerial_beos.cpp) and some tweaks to the Makefile. You may want to contact him. If anybody (...)

(...) The datalog appears to work fine, and you still have the same amount of program/datalog space. There was a ton of unused RAM in the older firmware, so Lego was able to pack a lot of new features in without reducing the user space. Dave Baum (25 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I've made a preliminary man page for nqc 2.2. (URL) (Hastily converted to HTML at (URL).) It mentions 2.2.r1 -- my thinking is to target the man page at the actual releases, not the alpha.... Comments? Errors? (25 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

There is still a problem when nqc uses the first three global variables if you also want to use a counter. The current solution is to make the first int lines reflect the fact that they will be used as counters. #Define COUNTER_1 0 int count1 int (...) (25 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi, has anybody tested the datalog with NQC 2.2 a1. Since the file firm0326.lgo is larger than the file firm0309.lgo, surely fewer ram will remain for storing the datalog. Is there any chance to get the number of free space? Ralf (25 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi Dave, no there is no mistake in NQC. Sorry if I confused you. I 've found a mistake in my samples #5 to #8.
