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.

hi James,

Sorry I don't know the answers, but I'm communicating with Delphi
through the spirit.ocx, which seems to be a bit too slow. I'm
able to control my serial port, but do you know how to control
the IR-tower, where did you get the information form ?

Hi there,

I'm new to the group, so I'm not too sure what's on and off • topic: if this
is off-topic, sorry in advance.

I was looking at using the IR tower that comes with Mindstorms • for my own
use, but I also wanted to experiment using it to communicate • with the RCX
manually. I'm using C++ and VC++ 6.0 to develop the application. In the
application I'm using PJ Naughter's CSerialPort class to access • the serial
port and send data to the RCX. Now, I can successfully *send* data but I
can't seem to receive it...when I try and read from the serial • port it just
echos what was sent.

Does anybody have any experience with C++ and IR communication • with the RCX
(or IR in general).

Thanks,

James.
