Re: Autostart program With Lego FW, you name the executable "! Startup.rxe", and it will automatically get run when the NXT powers on.

Re: Autostart program Sorry, but I'm not familiar enough with the finer details of ROBOTC.
Try saving your program as "! Startup" (with the regular extension, which should be ".c"), and then compile and download it to the NXT. Turn the NXT off and back on and see if it automatically starts executing the program. With Lego FW it works fine, but I'm not sure about with ROBOTC FW. _________________ Matt |

Re: Autostart program AFAIK RobotC programs are also stored as .rxe files when on the NXT. Try the "! Startup.rxe". If that doesn't work, feature request?

Re: Autostart program Yes, .c is the extension for the text format of the code when on the computer. .rxe is the extension for the compiled information on the brick. I would hope this is supported, it sounds like a neat idea; I actually thought about it a while back.
EDIT: Yes! It works. I made some code and here it is. Make sure to match case and spacing when naming your program ! Startup. Here:
Turn your nxt off and on and see what happens! _________________ I'm not a robot! I'm british! ~ quote from an asparagus I am not a robot! I am a unicorn! ~ quote from a robot Play chess for free! |

Re: Autostart program Thanks a lot for your answers.
I've tested the "! Startup.rxe" filename and it works perfectly ! _________________ My Eurobot team website : http://blog.mlrobotic.com/ My MOCs : http://nxtgen.6mablog.com |
