 | | The MicroScout's Script mode is VERY disapointing...
|
|
I wrote a very small message to VLL converter with the Scout so that I could play around with my 3 MicroScouts. The direct actions are useful but the script mode is pointless. WHY O WHY did LEGO make it play a stupid song BEFORE each motor action??? (...) (24 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.microscout, lugnet.robotics.scout, lugnet.robotics.vll)

hi Ryan, You can do it either through the spirit.ocx or just by sending the bytes to the IR tower. Both methods are quiet straight forward. I used both methods for the serial port in Delphi (which looks a lot like VB) and found that spirit.ocx is (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
