NQC · BrickCC

NQC · BrickCC is the classic toolchain for the RCX (and NQC-compatible targets like Spybotics). It is used for working with real RCX/Spybotics hardware and a tower.

Components

• NQC ("Not Quite C") by Dave Baum — C-like language compiled to RCX bytecode, sent over the IR tower per RCX IR protocol. Also flashes firmware (nqc -firmware firm0332.lgo).
• BrickCC / Bricx Command Center (BricxCC) — Windows IDE around NQC (and later NXC) with a firmware/upload GUI.

Relation to optical control

The same rcxvll.nqh library (rcxvll.nqh (pbrick)) is NQC and turns an RCX into a VLL emitter.
