No new features - just a few fixes and tweaks: * output files now default to current directory rather than next to source * fixed the __SCOUT bug * fixed the RcxCC problem - two part solution: 1) trailing directory delimiters are now optional on -I (...)

(...) You could probably change the first line to while (SENSOR_1 < target_distance) and it should work fine. Since you want to keep the two rotation sensor values (and hence the two wheel distances) equal, each sensor will individually measure the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi all, I'm new to programing so this may seem like a silly question. I'm using two rotation sensors with the program below to eliminate drift caused by different motor speeds. Is it possible to break this loop when a certain distance is reached? I (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | Proposed solution to RcxCC / NQC problem
|
|
This is my proposed solution to the problem with the NQC beta and RcxCC. As a quick recap, the problem is that RcxCC uses an exec line which has one quoted argument ending with a backslash: nqc -E"temp.log" -L"temp.lst" -I"C:\NQC\CC\" temp.nqc The (...)

I parallel two motors frequently with no ill effects. There is no generation taking place. It will use more battery current for the two motors than it would for one, but it is also doing more work. -- Bob Fay rfay@we.mediaone.net The Shop (URL) (...)

(...) You are wrong. The precedent, naturally, is C, coz NQC, isn't quite, err, C. Backslash _is_ the escaping character in C, even on Windoze. So, to write \a\b\c as a correct C string (yes, even a VC++ one), you have to write "\\a\\b\\c", and if (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

According to that elementary physics, you are converting power into heat as part of this process. Usually, when downgearing an engine, the intention is to have more power at the slower speed (for better climbing, lifting, etc.). This will not be the (...)
