I just got Mindstorm set, and since I do not have a PC, NQC seemed like
a great place to start. I tried Mac NQC and did not get very far downloading
the RCX firmware. Every attempt resulted in the IR tower not seeing the RCX.
I have a G3 blue and white and am using a uConnect USB to serial interface
and I suspected that was the problem. So I tried again with my Sun Ultra 5
running Solaris 7. I had the same problem. Then one time when I was downloading
with verbose on, I forgot to turn on the RCX. So I turned it on after starting
the NQC firmware download, and the firmware transfered.
This seems strange. Is this normal? Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
-Pete
