Ok, here's the full code up to now. I'm afraid there are no comments yet and
please bear in mind that it has been programmed on a Linux machine. If you want
to use it, change the pointer to your python interpreter and the name of your
serial port (in init).
The functions get_opcode en write_opcode are used to remember what the last
opcode was, so that it's equivalent can be used (RCX remembers last opcode and
refuses to carry it out when retransmitted).
Upload_datalog is still a work in progress....

| Why not post your python code to this ng. I'm in a heavy learning process on python right now and i thought of doing something similar. It would mean a great help for me. Thx Harry (...) (24 years ago, 8-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)
