Wow this is great! Full controll of an RCX with your computer. I am
definately going to do something with this. Think of the possibilities. Your
web cam idea sounds fun too. I have a wireles camera that I hve mounted on my
rcx, transmites to channel 51 and my Tuner Card picks it up. Hopefully I can
figure out a way to get the picture in C++.
I was thinking you should expand your idea, what about being able to recieve
values and messages. And also send messages. Like in NCQ with the watch tool.
You could also create a computer game that controls your RCX. hmmmmm
Well, thanks for this great tool. I know I am going to use it in my next
invention.
