Robot Controller 1.7b3

Robot Controller allows you to:

1. Download firmware to the RCX
2. Control the three motor outputs
3. Set up the three sensor inputs and monitor their values
4. Download programs to the five program slots and run them
5. Set up the datalog and save it on your disk in readable form
6. Send and receive messages to and from your robot
7. Examine the use of the RCX memory
8. Read and change the values of the RCX variables
9. Control the RCX with AppleScript.

Robot controller only works on Mac OS X version 10.1 or later. It works both with the USB IR tower and with the serial IR tower (provided you have a serial port with a driver). Programs for download must be in .rcx format, as produced by nqc; firmware for download must be in .lgo format, as included in the Lego 2.0 beta SDK.

Known problems:

• There seems to be a problem using one of the two USB channels on my G4. If your USB tower shows up in the preferences, but then doesnt work, try it in the other channel. I think this is a bug in IOKit, and I have reported it to Apple.

Enhancements:

• Fixed datalog dragging bugs.
• Added preference for datalog filename.

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.1 or later.
