(...) I recently made a pair of Spybots that could work together for an autonomous sumo competition. I wanted to use the Spybot "ZONES" but found this info is not available in NQC. It was pretty easy to pick up Mindscript, and I was able to do just (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Hello John, Sure I'm interested... Though I have not devoted enough time to the Spybots, I think they make a good "poor man" robotics platform - unfortunately with quite a few limitations. Thanks a lot for the time and energy you put in (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I'm hanging on every byte, John. I've tried a couple times to do what your doing with the Spybot API, and I just don't seem to have what it takes. For instance, I tried to figure out how to get the Spybot to respond to its remote control from NQC, (...) (21 years ago, 17-Oct-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

Doh! I had the low and high bytes switched on the items below which can be passed one or more frequencies. Now I have actually tested this code and it does, indeed, work (with the low and high bytes in the correct order). I've also slightly changed (...)

Here is another submission to the NQC spybot API. I haven't properly tested this against an actual Spybot but I have compared the NQC output code to what is generated by MindScript and documented in the VPB help file. #define SOUNDEFFECT __res 2 (...)

(...) I'm glad that you (and others) have found NQC to be useful. Most people don't use NQC for anything beyond compiling and downloading programs, but it has lots of options for interacting with the RCX (such as -datalog, -run, and -raw). Type "nqc (...)

(...) If you just want to transfer the datalog and put it in a text file you can use the nqc command: nqc -datalog This will upload the datalog and print it to stdout.

(...) NQC programs run on the RCX which has no disk drive to write to, hence no file system or commands to do so. You might want to look at the Data Log feature of the RCX, which allows you to save data points (up to about 6,000 of them) such as (...) (21 years ago, 30-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
