    Just some really basic questions... —Jeff Small
   Okay, I'm really new to the whole NQC thing and have visited Amazon and ordered a couple books, but I've got some rather high level, I guess for lack of a better term, questions... I can store up to three program in my RCX. Correct? What's the best (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

   (...) 5. You get five slots. (...) Yes, with Version 2 of the firmware. (...) From what I understand you get 6k of program space, you can use it all in a program or spread it around 2 to 5. Your choice. (...) Sort of. Computer to RCX control is (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: Just some really basic questions... —Jeff Small
   Okay, cool, so I get 5 slots (my bad...I knew that too...I don't know *why* I kept saying 3) and the TOTAL space I can use is 6k? Does that include the datalog feature? Can you pass variables into other programs? How do you use these 'Codes (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: Just some really basic questions... —Andi Scharfstein
     (...) Yes. (...) Yes. (...) You send a code from RCX #1 to RCX #2, RCX #2 is awaiting code... Based on the code number, it can perform previously defined tasks (complex tasks too, if you like) (...) ... Don't know. More complications, I'd say.

        Re: Just some really basic questions... —Dean Husby
   (...) Yes. To be more precise I believe it's 6100 bytes of space. (The SCOUT has 400 bytes of space) (...) if message = 5 then jump off table... It's that easy... (...) Well if you can keep all the code in one program it's easier. But you get 32 (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
   
        Re: Just some really basic questions... —Bernd Frassek
   (...) Dean, I am not sure that this is correct what you write about global variables. As far as I know, the followoing is correct: - 32 global variables are only valid WITHIN one program slot. - Within this slot, all tasks, functions and subroutines (...)

   (...) Your example did as I have stated. Global variables are global across all program slots. Dean -- Coin-Op's For Sale!: (URL) Lego Workshop: (URL) Lego Club: (URL) (24 years ago, 30-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

   (...) program (...) Dean, you are right and meanwhile I could test it. However, the definition for the global variables must be in the SAME ORDER order for both of the programs. If you would do this: SLOT 1: int testvar1 = 1; int testvar2 = 2; int (...) (24 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
