Hi, I have modified the lnp daemon (lnpd) to work with emulegos even when there is no IR tower. It will transmit all received messages to all other clients. This is (I think) an improvement on the patched version of lnpd delivered with emulegos (...) (22 years ago, 12-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| | USB Range shorter than Serial!?
|
|
Since I do the whole web-controllable-rover deal with my bot, it tends to go quite a distance. I recently purchased a USB tower from Pitsco and I must say, even WITH the long-range enabled on the control panel, the Serial tower still beats it. In (...)

Somewhere on the LEGO site it says that Serial > USB is not compatable -- If you must, why not just buy a USB IR tower from PITSCO LEGODacta for $30? If you have the SDK 2.5, or even the SDK 2.0, it comes with the driver for the USB tower (in the (...) (22 years ago, 14-Aug-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
