Any pointers on how to get NQC to actually talk to the RCX would be gratefully received! I've searched around and tried everything that I can come up with but still can't make NQC send data correctly to the RCX. I've doublechecked that the serial (...)

Hi I have a light-seeker NQC program for RCX, I want to port for Scout, does anyone know how to do it? Then does Scout use external light sensor? BR Zhengrong (24 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

Your program is pretty difficult for me to follow...way too many tasks starting and stoping one another. For something as simple as the algorithm you described, you can probably take care of all the light seeking in a single task. If you still want (...)

(...) MacNQC 2.2a3 predates array support. MacNQC 2.2a3 uses NQC compiler 2.2a2, and arrays were added at NQC 2.2b1. You can find out what version of compiler is being used in the "About..." box.

I'm using NQC 2.2 (but I also had the problem with 2.1) to compile programs for my RCX. I don't see how to control whether the LED in the light sensor is on or off.
