Hi,

I've seen in Dan Baum's book that the PC can be used to send
messages (as if it was itself a RCX) to other RCX.
Does anyone knows the procedure? Please send details
so that I can myself program this.  If you have code lines,
that's even better (whatever the language).

Ultimately, I would like to make the smallest .exe that would
use one number on the command line and send this number as
a message to RCX present in the range of the IR tower.

Thanks for the help,
Denis.

Hello, I've made something like that in java. I've started out with the rcxport of Scott Lewis (www.slewis.com/rcxport/) and made a little console application with it that accepts a port identifier and a value as parameters. It works under Linux and (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
