 | | New NQC API for RCX-Spybot or RCX-RC communication
|
|
Recently I happened across the MindScript headers for the RCX in the SDK and saw some interesting macros for RCX communication. I decided to port them to NQC and possibly add them to the official built-in NQC API. I would be extremely grateful if (...)

I am working feverishly on updates to NQC which will include extensions to the built-in API in support of Dick Swan's new firmware. My intent is to be consistent with the existing NQC API. However, there are some issues I am debating and I would (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Would anyone miss terribly the NQC 1.x compatibility mode if I were to remove it? At this point it seems like it is a very useless feature, but maybe someone out there is still using the 1.x API. What do you think? John Hansen (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
