Ben, Internally, the RCX only works with integers, but .1 degree resolution was desired for temperature sensors, so the sensor values are actually measured in .1 degree increments. A reading of 70 degrees F is stored as 700, not 70. If you change (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

It's probably something simple and i'm about to embarrass myself, but I'm trying to write the equivalent of an RCX Code temperature sensor watcher with NQC.

You could always check how big your datalog is by uploading the first point of the datalog in VB. The third element of the first point (point 0) is the size of the datalog. Throw that in a databox and see what it gives you. I would agree that VB (...) (24 years ago, 26-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
