The remote control always sends the same sort of packet: d2 xx yy where xxyy is a sixteen bit bit-field indicating what features should be activated: xxyy 0001 Message 1 0002 Message 2 0004 Message 3 0008 Motor A Forward 0010 Motor B Forward (...)

(...) This is why it might be nice to get the remote control reverse engineered -- we may discover a way. (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) RCX contains 5 programs. Each program can have up to 10 tasks and 8 subroutines. Only one program may run at any given time, multitasking is between tasks in the same program. There is no known programmatic way of transferring control from one (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I wouldn't mind hosting a NQC lego code repository on Maktos.com. I have plenty of space, so you could send me pictures, code, articles, news, whatever you want. I'll put it all up in its own area.

(...) I believe that there's a maximum of ten tasks. So it would be a coincidence, but it isn't. :) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I am curious to clarify something. The NQC documentation states that an NQC program can have up to 5 tasks (I think that's the right number). In addition, the brick itself has the 5 program slots. Are they related or is it a coincidence of (...) (25 years ago, 17-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
