 | | decoding a message sent by an RCX
|
|
hiya, I have been working on an idea to extend the number and type of devices that the RCX can control. I started with the idea of encoding serial data on one of the motor lines and decoding that in a PIC to do <stuff>. However, because working at (...)

(...) Yes, you are correct - 11 bits total per byte. And yes, this is very non-standard. I believe the signal is inverted - meaning that IR light is present for "0" bits, and no light for "1" bits. But I'm going from memory here and haven't looked (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Woaw ! This could be great to have a full featured rcx expansion board... It should however be not too expensive, and in my opinion very basic to allow anything to be made. A "simple" (hehe :-) 8 bit Input / Output expander would be very, very nice. (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) [...] I think something like this was already made by LEGO itself in the lab while creating the RCX/CyberMaster software. I say this because they seem to have forgot to remove the CABLE mode of transmission from the Spirit.ocx when deploying (...) (25 years ago, 4-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I wondered about that - hardly any traffic in the newsgroup despite numerous downloads of NQC. I hope its because people are just too busy building stuff and programming it with NQC and RcxCC. Perhaps I should add a few more bugs to NQC just (...) (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Thanks for giving us all such a great language ... without NQC I most likely would have an RCX collecting dust. - Nick - (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I second that! I tried using the "native" language and its limitations baffled me. I never got a program downloaded. I jumped straight to NQC and have done several now. Good work Dave! DLC (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
