  Re: Problems with FindWorld() function
 
(...) The Spybot LASM Opcode documentation for this opcode is just plain wrong. It says that the command structure is 6 bytes. The first byte is the opcode 0xd5. The second byte is the variable number. The third byte is the "find source" (relation (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Problems with FindWorld() function
 
(...) Nope. NQC is definitely generating bad code. My apologies. I will fix it right away. John Hansen (19 years ago, 9-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Problems with FindWorld() function
 
(...) The code generated by NQC appears to be correct. I've had reports over the years from lots of people who have had great success with using the world relation table information in the Spybot so I doubt that the firmware is buggy in this respect (...)

  Problems with FindWorld() function
 
I'm checking out the function FindWorld() [with BrixC and nqc version 3.1 a1 (built Mar 8 2005, 07:33:11)] and run into problems. The call int t = -1; ClearWorld(); FindWorld(t, SPY_RANGE, REL_GT, RANGE_NOWHERE); seems to work quite well. However if (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: New NQC API for RCX-Spybot or RCX-RC communication
 
(...) John, I have a few beginner questions for you. I am trying to emulate the infrared protocol on a different microcontroller. I want it to be able to be controlled by a Lego remote and to send/receive messages to Lego devices. What format does (...)

  Re: How to run in XP as a non-administrator
 
(...) Hey thanks. Permission bits, eh? Now why didn't I think of that? Oh well, I gave it a shot last night with Full access for everyone (I think), and no luck. I also checked the Spybotics directory in Program Files and discovered a user.ini file (...) (20 years ago, 5-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.dear-lego)
 
  Re: How to run in XP as a non-administrator
 
(...) I would guess that you need to change the permissions (when logged on as an admin) on the part of the registry that the spybotic software uses to allow all users change permissions. How you find out which bits are needed is a question of (A) (...) (20 years ago, 4-May-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Programming language survey results
 
Hi all, Thank you if you completed the survey about your chosen development environment. Early results are as follows: 48% of respondents use NQC as their main language. NQC scores 1.6 for usefulness, 1.5 for ease of use and 2.1 for enjoyment. (1 is (...)

  Battle of the programming languages
 
Hi, I am very interested (for a variety of reasons) in which programming language people are using to build robots. I wonder if you would fill in a questionnaire about it at: (URL) all about how useful, easy and enjoyable your chosen language is. If (...)

  How to run in XP as a non-administrator
 
I searched, but I can't seem to find the answer to this one. But someone must have encountered it by now. I installed the lego spybotic software on an XP Home Edition PC. Now it only works when logged in as the administrator. Try to run it as anyone (...) (20 years ago, 27-Apr-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Unable to download a mission
 
Hi, I am not able to download a mission into a spybot. If I use SpyboticsDiagnostics sw (SDsw), it is OK with a test mission. But if I use spybotics.exe (Ssw), the spybot is not detected. I watched the serial line. In case of SDsw, there is some (...) (20 years ago, 29-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Sending Commands to Spybot from RCX - Question from a Beginner to Comm area.
 
Hi Everybody, I have used SendSpybotMsg and SendSpybotCtrlMessage (of course in connection with resopective set messages) without any problems using BCC 3.3.7.5 and 3.3.7.9. These two commands gives RCX a nice control over spybot. Specially (...) (20 years ago, 8-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Spybot Game data

  Spybot Game data
 
Can I ask a few Spybot users to help me confirm the format of the Spybot Game data stored in the first 128 bytes of EEPROM? In BricxCC you can use the Configurable Watch tool window to watch the Spybot EEPROM source for values 64 through 69 (6 (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Sending Commands to Spybot from RCX - Question from a Beginner to Comm area.
 
(...) First of all, my apologies for not answering you via email. I've been a bit busy at work. I needed to run some tests myself before I could properly respond as well. The 0x9223 from the RCX happens to match the IR sent out by the Spybot (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Sending Commands to Spybot from RCX - Question from a Beginner to Comm area.
 
Hi All, I am planning to send some commands to spybot via RCX 2.0 unit. My Whole plan is control “spybot” using RCX unit. To have a basic understanding of the communication, I used the sample posted my Mark Riley 19 Aug 2002. In RCX I used (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Arrays and proximity
 
(...) The Spybot has a limited number of global (32) variables. NQC lets you access these via an array syntax. MindScript and NQC also let you use pointers to variables which effectively is an array. The maximum size of an array is less than 32. The (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, FTX)
 
  Re: Arrays and proximity
 
(...) If I MUST program a state machine, I could program it to be a small array. Something like this: if(i==0) r=array0; if(i==1) r=array1; if(i==2) r=array2; etc... Self modifying code would be more elegant, but can that be done? If it can be done, (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Arrays and proximity
 
(...) You CAN program it, or use the state machine structure provided by LEGO (...) You also can use NQC, but I don't know the extent of what's available on the Spybot. There are differences between the RCX and the Spybot. (...) Yes, perfect. But it (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Arrays and proximity
 
I just got my Spybotics set cheaply, and I now want to start my machine intellligence experiment. However, I need arrays to process inputs and store experiences. How large can they be in the spybot? How can I use the flash? And how can I use the (...) (20 years ago, 27-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
