Re: Programming the RCX with MPLab?
I've never used Lego's products, but a word of advice. If you're the programmer for your team, and you want to practice developing code in an environment that parallels that of the actual FRC competition, get Vex.
The Vex controller/accessory's were designed I believe to be identical to the FRC kit of parts, except smaller and cheaper. Thus the controller is very similar to the FRC robot controller.
If you do decide to buy vex, and use it with MPLAB, download this: http://www.vexlabs.com/docs/vex-startup-code.zip . Some how that project is configured to work with Vex correctly, download it the first time, and save yourself heaps of trouble :) |
