You folks, and you J.H. are 'right-on' once again! Yes it works, but SPY seems to react only to very specific code strings (message A: byte 0=0x92, byte1=0x23; message B: byte 0=0x92, byte1=0xab; ... etc.), and immediately performs the message code! (The two messages [above] are two separate SPY led animations). I am looking for a way to send a more general number code IR message from the RCX to Spy (such as in your RCX NQC program of March 16, and use the sent 'message parameter' from the RCX, generated by an RCX actively running program, as a 'process parameter' in another program, actively running on the SPYBOT). Have not got that solved directly (short of time coding a combination, say of one of the above mentioned messages). Do you SPY fans out there have anymore thoughts? We have SPY pulling an 'RCX in a small cart' around, with both handling navigation/logic/sensing tasks. Increasing the RCX TxPower to HI, makes the RCX messaging from the cart (behind Snaptrack SPY) really quite solid. In fact, SPY jumps to an uncoupled RCX cart 20 ft. away! Gramps Eddie & Grandson CJ

(...) Okay, after banging my head against this for WAY too long I think I have finally figured out (somewhat) a few things that were previously completely lost to my understanding. If you want an RCX (running RCX2 firmware) to simulate a Spybot Ping (...) (20 years ago, 24-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

(...) Mark Riley wrote a program quite a while ago that sends IR messages to a Spybot from an RCX ((URL) The receiver side of this (running on the Spybot) is implemented in his post in MindScript. I just posted a message a few minutes ago which (...) (20 years ago, 16-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
