If we can integrate the IR into Quartus Forth, then it would indeed be cool to upload firmwarwe and code from the (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| | | | (...) So, this program will generate forth that the RCX can interpret, on the palm? That's pretty cool. Hopefully, everyone can agree on some database format in which RCX bytecode can be stored, so that it can be used by NQC, Quartus, or whatever (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | (...) No, it's way simpler than that. The text files on the Palm are source code for Quartus Forth on the Palm. The idea is that the *same* source gets sent to the RCX via the IR link - you can do it now with a serial link, a terminal emulator, and (...)

| | | | | Ralph, to what extent do you have QForth communicating to the RCX? I just started writing (again, I started this last year and didn't get around to it) a QForth program to communicate with the RCX. Do you have any QForth code that would get me (...)

| | | | | | From what I've been able to figure, you need to bypass the irDA queue on the Palm to send straight bits over the IR port. This is possible by going to the hardware itself. OmniRemote can do it, and so can we (if we figure out how!). It's been in my (...) (24 years ago, 7-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
