Will the Remote Control directly control the RCX output ports A - C without downloading firmware? Will it run the RCX built-in programs without downloading firmware? The output ports and built-in programs of the Scout from set 9735 Robotics (...) (25 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Probably not a good idea. First, unless you replace the cable on the camera, you'll have to roll it up and carry it on your robot. USB cables have a minimum length, so you need another rolled up USB cable carried on your robot to connect the tower (...) (25 years ago, 17-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi! Does anybody see a possibility to use the Palmpilots IR-Port with the RCX. I know that it is a IrDA-Port, but is it possible that the RCX understands IrDA or either way the Palm sends some RCX style commands? Any suggestions? Thanx! Sebastian (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
