| | | (...) Looking at the Scout SDK, I think it does support the same sleep time command as the RCX - although perhaps not from within a program. There are two things to try: nqc -sleep 0 or add the following function to your program and call it (with (...) (24 years ago, 30-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

| | | | (...) I just verified that both of these work. I'll fix the API for the next NQC release, but in the meantime, you can always add the following functions to your Scout programs: void SetSleepTime(const int t) { asm { 0xb1, t }; } void SleepNow() { (...)

| | | | | (...) You know, I tried that. It didn't work. But then I'm using my new editor (that I'm working on) and had forgotten to set the brick type with EACH command to NQC. I only had it set to compile/Download. So the scout wouldn't be 'unlocked' until I (...) (24 years ago, 30-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

| | | | | | (...) Possible, yes, but I'd prefer not to. The command line is already too complex. I might consider adding the information as part of the regular program download message (with the battery level). For devices other than Scout, there isn't a fixed (...)

Also, what does the Scout API include with the program? I know in the RCX it turns all motor ports (...) (24 years ago, 2-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

I don't think we have to hunt around for undocumented features - just verify that (...) (24 years ago, 3-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)
