(...) Performance is an interesting question. For the article example where I used a Devantech SRF04 Sonar and a Sharp GP2D12 IR Rangefinder, the performance is limited by the senors. The SRF04 has a minimum cycle time of at least 10ms (this is the (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Brian, Could you send me a copy of the file that is causing the problem. I can see what is causing the problem in MacNQC. If you are having any other problems with MacNQC I would like to hear from you. What version of MacNQC are you using? Rob (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) And first, thank you (& Mark, John, and others) for figuring all this out! I'm trying to program a Spybot using NQC (via the MacNQC GUI), and without support like this & Dave's NQC, I'd never get anywhere. Again, THANK YOU to the community. (...)

(...) example code I think that adding a form of RF communication via the PIC is well possible and the PIC can oeprate as 'communication front end' for the spybot. I believe that Jay's work can boost considerably the capabilities of the spybot. (...) (20 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(Requires at least a 386) (URL) had the djgpp version of gcc lying around from a previous DOS project, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Can you comment a bit on the performances in a scenario in which the PIC would take care of data acquisition from a variety of sensors? (...) (20 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Call me kooky, but I'd like to see actual DOS support (ie, non-Win32s specific code) for the serial port. I have an old, trusty Win3.11 laptop that I want to use when taking my RCX out to events, for last minute fiddling. I've found version (...)
