Maybe you don't know the Scout can't be downloaded firmware, only RCX can do it. But you can download program to Scout in P mode, you can use NQC to write program for Scout. Zhengrong (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vc)

When trying to use the ATLClient.exe that came with the RCX 2.0 Beta SDK I get an error message when I try to download the new 2.0 firmware to my scout. The message says "Failed to enter boot mode" Does anyone know how to fix this problem ? Also has (...) (26 years ago, 21-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vc)

|

(...) Yes, MacNQC supports the Scout. You'll need version 2.2a3 which is available in the 'beta' area of the NQC website. 2.2a3 has been out for quite a while without any bug reports, so I'd consider it a very stable beta. Dave (26 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

| | Program Scout with MacNQC?

I'm an utter beginner in regards to programming but i'd like to give it a shot with the Scout (It's all i have right now- saving for the RIS). I managed to get an IR tower on Ebay, so i've got a method of talking to the Scout. My question is this: (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

Assuming it doesn't all wind up in a drawer collecting dust, the RCX is definitely worth the extra money. Plus you get a lot more than just the RCX when you buy RIS 1.5. For one thing you get the IR tower, which is pretty much an essential add-on (...) (26 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
