Stef,

I've used spirit.ocx, but I just wanted to "hack" it that little bit
further. I got the IR protocol information from the RCX Internal's site:

http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx

Perhaps a more details explanation of what I did would help, it can be found
at:

Thanks,

James.

I'm able to control my serial port, but do you know how to control the IR-tower, where did you get the information (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
