Is it possible to talk to only one RCX at a time?? Is there a way to specify the RCX I want to talk to??
I'm afraid not...
But you can use Message codes.
I've set up a system for up to 5 RCX's.
It goes like this.
Each RCX gets a constant set.
#define RCX# 0 // 0 to 4 are valid
Then for each message the takes the code and adds RCX# to it.
The above RCX would react to 1,6,11,16 etc.
RCX 1 would react to 2,7,12,17 etc.
You can set up to about 50 commands this way.
I know it's not what you wanted. But it's a possibility.
