(...) Ok, I was right. That one didn't work, so I pasted together some DOS UART code and made a PSerial_dos.cpp file that does seem to work my antique 486 DOS PC. I put a zip file with the DOS nqc.exe, the CWSDPMI.EXE DOS extender, and the source (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Since that value can only be between 8 and 255 it seems like it must be able to be changed somehow. My three Spybots are 8, 57, and 216. John Hansen (21 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Oops - I misread the question. You were asking about the Spybot processor, and I have no idea what it is. I was looking into the RCX processor. Sorry, Jay (21 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

Hello, Does anyone know if the Own ID (source 51,2 - or via NQC PingID()) is a hard coded value, or is it computed from other information (i.e. from the Spybot type, long ID, name, birthdate, etc.)? I'm working with a good number of Spybots. (...) (21 years ago, 9-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Essentially, I took the October post with the "updated" API, and cut-&-pasted it into a MacNQC include file. The problem seemed to stem from the fact that each line had two leading spaces, which when I changed to single tabs worked fine, and (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Jay, I think that both the Spybot and the RCX kits (PCB + parts) would make sense. There is a large community of Spybot owners here that would be just happy to buy the kit and I believe even a larger one for the RCX. We can run a poll to (...)

(...) This is certainly possible. I connected the serial port receiver of the PIC to the IR receivers on the Spybot in hopes of detecting my own transmissions for use as a simple proximity detector. It almost works when the Spybot translucent cover (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
