(...) NQC will first attempt to 'ping' the RCX, but if this fails I'm pretty sure it will give up completely. However, each command that is sent is retried several times (with increasing timeouts for each try) until an acknowledgement is heard. Its (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Unfortunately, the problem is not ambient light. I was trying this in a dark room at night. The only light source in the room was the monitor. I really think we can rule out the tower since my friends RCX loads with my IR tower just fine, and (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Offhand, I'd suspect that the problem is either interference from lighting in the room, or perhaps your IR tower is 'marginal'. From your tests so far it doesn't sound like the problem follows either a specific computer or an RCX. Minimize the (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I wanted to follow-up on my first message with more information in the hopes someone can help. I have been having problems with downloading to my RCX. I started trying NQC on a mac and this did not work. I then ported NQC to Solaris and had some (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

If you're using Windows, you can watch your programs variables with Rcx Command center. It wouldn't be hard to write a variable watcher for other platforms either. This doesn't cover all debugging sessions but I find it helps a lot. Mike Kory Georg (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

Hi! (...) Yup, that's why I use the datalog. Ok, I am one of those weirdos that prefer core-debugging over stepping through your source, that might explain it a bit ... bye, Georg (25 years ago, 30-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
