I'm working on a revision to Mark Overmars' fantastic RcxCC program. I'm an experienced Delphi programmer so that's no problem. But I'm not all that experienced with NQC or the RCX generally. I've got a the latest version of NQC, a Cybermaster, an (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) This is unclear. What I mean to say is that I'm revising RcxCC so that it will be able to run in the situation where you do not have the Spirit OCX installed on your system. Since NQC is all that is required to compile, download, and run a (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) You can probably use NQC to implement a lot of the other fancy features as well. The "-raw" option for NQC lets you send raw byte packets. You'd need to figure out the actual bytecodes from Lego's LASM document, but you wouldn't have to worry (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

hi John, Great idea, (for RCXcc is a very good application, even my children can write programs with it) I just had the same idea, but my time is limited. I've need some more ideas, here are some of mine ideas (and bugs), I wanted to implement: - (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) I am considering taking advantage of the -raw option on NQC or possibly the -remote option to further enable RcxCC in the absence of Spirit.ocx. Of course, most users of RcxCC will have spirit.ocx, but Scout users may not. I'm not planning on (...) (23 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Looking into the way syntax highlighting is performed in RcxCC revealed a few "features" that I find undesirable. In my experience, the Undo doesn't really work right. It also appears to be counting the change of highlighting as a (...) (23 years ago, 6-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I'm Tamotsu Kamigaki from Japan. I am teaching the Computer Science in university. I had already modified the RcxCC to support the Scout and the USB IrTower that is included in RIS2.0 set. The RIS2.0 set was released in Nov. 2000 only in Japan. My (...) (23 years ago, 7-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi, I'm Ronald Strijbosch from the Netherlands and I have made a brent new program based om RCXCC, called Visual NQC 2001. The program is still in beta but the final version will be released soon. I think this program is verry interesting for you so (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I've tested your RcxCC version, and it works great with RCX2 (AFAIK). (ah, and still works simultaneously with CyberMaster too, eheh) That reminds me, one very useful thing for people working with various pBricks simultaneously (like myself), would (...)

(...) Adding Scout support, if you are relying on Spirit.ocx, is essentially the same as providing Cybermaster support. It was very simple for me to add Scout support to RcxCC. I'll email you my revised RcxCC source code if you'd like. I am not a (...) (23 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Scout is similar to Cybermaster as John stated, but I think (...) (23 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
