My replacement for spirit.ocx does not yet support sending messages to
the RCX, but it would only take
10 min to add it. (It is planned, but first I am working on cloning
spirit.ocx).

As for receiving, the IR tower shuts down to fast to reliably receive
these messages.

For more info on the spirit.ocx replacement, send mail to

hi list!

i want to send a single-byte message from the serial ir-tower
to the rcx, preferrably with visual basic. a program running on
the host pc should send/recieve message to/from the rcx.

what i found up to now is:

- sending messages from the tower not possible with spirit.ocx

- type "nqc -msg x" from the command line
  (cool and quite fast, but needs the serial port to be free,
   so spirit-comm would have to be opened and closed all
   the time when switching between sending and recieving)

- several perl-scripts, c-programs etc. that send opcodes
  to the serial port / tower
  (impressing, but i don't have any of those environments
   and i couldn't get it to work with vb or a comm-tool, maybe
   i don't fully understand this opcode thing or use wrong
   com-port settings?)

can anybody help me?
has someone ever made a vb-program that sends opcodes
via the serial tower to the rcx?

thanks a lot and many greetings
mat
