__SCOUT and __RCX behave as you guessed. There are also defines for __CM and __SPY for spybotics and cybermaster targets, respectively. These constants should work for BricxCC, or any other NQC environment since they are defined by the NQC compiler. (...) (23 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) OK now I'm less hooked on it. :P The common bottleneck and problem seems to be communicating with the RCX. Here's an idea: Celphone Handsfree Jack -> 1200 or 2400 baud Modem -> LEGO serial IR tower -> RCX Would this work, if the link was (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

That IS interesting. I don't intend building a robot out of plywood and buying controller boards, that's no challenge :P But it would be nice to adapt the serial link to the RCX and see what, if anything you could do with it! <Waits for Steve to (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Technology strides ever forward :PPP How would you get the TV remote control to talk to BrickOS or the RCX software though? (...) I don't (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)

With BrickOS, you could use the host address; which can be changed on the RCX using the view and program buttons. This would limit you to (what?) 8 or 16 RCXs, but that might be a start. // Joe (...) (23 years ago, 8-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics)
