I got a surprise birthday present of a Spybotics set #3808 (is my wife cool or
what?). I don’t have a Windows machine, but I dug around on the CD-ROM, found
the building instructions, and got it working. I’m able to drive it around with
remote control, and on occasion even manage to make it grab a sock or small toy.
Then I tuned in here to see what else people are doing, and to my amazement, I
see people talking about programming these things in NQC! I had no idea that
was possible.
But I’m having trouble finding any introduction to the topic. I have several
Macs running OS X, and I have a USB/serial adapter, so I think the hardware
should be fine. I see references to MacNQC, though the
MacNQC home page only seems to mention
the RCX.
So I’m a bit like a babe in the woods here, or whatever the saying is... can
anyone point me to an orientation on what the Spybotics controller can do, and
how to make it do it? Maybe some sample programs, with instructions on how to
compile and download them?
Many thanks,
- Joe
