So I can just return the datalog to the computer, not have NQC choose different programs to download depending on what the datalog reads? BTW, in firware version 2, the RCX can read from the datalog, but what does that mean in reality? Can it decide (...) (24 years ago, 1-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) yes (...) NQC programs do not run on the host computer. They only run on the target (RCX/Cybermaster/Scout). The NQC command can read the datalog (printing it to stdout) and download programs, but to do something intelligent you'd need another (...) (24 years ago, 30-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) 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).

(...) 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)

Can I have the computer read the datalog after a program is finished, and then, depending on what the datalog reads, have it download a different program to the RCX? My idea would be to make a robot that stores it's movement, and thhen have the (...) (24 years ago, 30-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) In the old Scout API there were two calls: #define local(n) (@((n) + 10)) void Call(const int n) { asm { 0x17, n }; } You can enable the API by adding -D__SCOUT_COMPAT on the command line, or just copy the above two lines into your program.

(...) 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() { (...)
