Re: Programming the RCX with MPLab?
I've found NQC to be good enough for my usage. The general rule is that if you can't do it in NQC (or Mindscript), you can't do it with the official firmware.

Remember, every programmable brick Lego has made doesn't work with native code; all programs are interpreted. This applies to the RCX, the Scout, the Spybotics controller, and the CyberMaster (somewhat rare). (I'm fairly certain it applies to the NXT, too, but I haven't actually heard.)

My question is, why MPLAB? I could write a better IDE.
