  global output control
 
The Scout and RCX 2.0 both support what lego calls "global" control of the outputs. At first I thought the global calls somehow took precedence over normal calls, so I simply made global versions of all the output calls in NQC. However, after (...)

(...) <snip> Dave, Been out of town, and will look more at your messages this weekend. Thanks for the feedback. -- Gordon (24 years ago, 15-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: NQC 2.x event processing
 
(...) Getting things like Timer[0] = 100; to work while still allowing if (Timer(0) < 100) { } is a lot harder than I had anticipated, so I'm punting on array-style setting of the various RCX source (such as Timer(), UpperLimit(), etc). There are (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: NQC 2.x event processing
 
(...) Not really a stack problem, just a control flow issue. On suggestion for the event handling was something like this: begin_events(EVENT_MASK, event_handler); // put code that executes during event monitoring here end_events event_handler: // (...)

(...) #3, which was the approach you took. (...) I think what I liked about the approach in pBrick script was that it was fairly like coding a microcontroller in assembler: set up an interrupt vector and then include a label and code for the (...)

(...) Cool. We'll wait patiently. :) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: communication brick <-> PC
 
(...) My current thoughts are to add "listen" support to rcxlib/RCX_Link, but not add anything else to the nqc tool itself. This would facilitate writing a small wrapper program around rcxlib/RCX_Link that could send/receive messages without (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: communication brick <-> PC
 
(...) It can be used, but the problem is that the tower shuts off fairly quickly if it doesn't hear anything from the computer. So the listening program would need to be sending keep-alive messages periodically. I think that Dave will put something (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  communication brick <-> PC
 
Hi there ! I've got a question concerning ir communication with the brick ... After having done some low-level debugging to make a self-written programm communicate with my brick using the IR tower, I'd like to make my programm control the brick. (...)

  Re: NQC 2.x event processing
 
(...) I don't have any changes in mind for the monitor/catch construct, although I'll listen to suggestions if people have any. There was a brief discussion about this a while back: (URL) that point I was already pushing a procedural approach - (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  NQC 2.x event processing
 
Dave, I'm curious if the system of events and event-trapping in NQC 2.x will remain about the same as it is now. I played around with it this last week, and had little success (it worked once or twice, I *think*), but what struck me was how much I (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?
 
(...) I went with simple... #pragma reserve start [end] where [end] is assumed to be start if not specified. If you want to reserve multiple vars (or multiple ranges) you need to use multiple #pragmas. (...) Yes, its all a bit academic. The only (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?
 
(...) How about: #pragma reserve 1 3 5-8 9 with range explicitly specified by "-". Then those that want to specify a range can do so and those who want to specify a list can do so. Of course this assumes that you don't allow arithmetic in the pragma (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: NQC 2.2 a2
 
(...) I'm really busy recently; it'll probably be a few more days before I have the Linux builds done. (Since it's an alpha release, it doesn't make my top priority list. I'll drop everything for the final release. *grin*) (24 years ago, 31-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  MacNQC 2.2 a2
 
Alpha release of MacNQC 2.2 is at (URL) the most part this release just incorporates the latest NQC compiler into the MacNQC GUI. Dave Baum (24 years ago, 30-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?
 
(...) I would suggest leaving it simple. For example: #pragma 1 Would reserve var. one. #pragma 1 5 9 10 31 Would reserve var.'s 1, 5, 9, 10 & 31 It's the easiest to see at a glance and would be easy to adjust as you changed your code.

Second alpha release of NQC 2.2 is at (2 URLs) for the list of changes. Dave Baum (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)  
 
  Re: Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?
 
Although I would much prefer to see NQC reserveing the variables for itself, I prefer the syntax with a start and end on it. #pragma reserve 1 3 James P (24 years ago, 29-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Re: Syntax for reserving variables in NQC?
 
(...) Handling a range should't be too tough - perhaps like this #pragma start [count] where count is assumed to be 1 if not present // reserve location 1 #pragma 1 // reserve locations 5,6 and 7 #pragma 5 3 --- The alternative would be #pragma (...)
