| RCX.PANEL | |
| Syntax | RCX_PANEL |
| Explanation | The RCX.PANEL command activates the RCX
panel. This panel illustrates the state of all RCX data,
including variables, timers, sensors, etc. (See the
RCX variables). Since the
RCX robot controller does not send this data
continuously, the data is fetched from the RCX at regular
intervals. The panel updates approximately once per
second. The panel also acts as a simulator for the RCX. If the communications channel to the RCX is not open, the panel intercepts the low-level data flow and interprets the data as if it were an RCX. For this purpose, the panel contains a slider and two pushbuttons for each sensor input. This makes it possible to write procedures and to issue commands without actually being connected to an RCX. When the communications channel to the RCX is open, these sliders and pushbuttons are dimmed and inaccessible, and the panel does not intercept the data sent to the RCX. The Panel cannot be used to alter values, since Logo
provides direct commands to modify values inside the RCX. |
