The micro scout can be programmed using the VLL (Visible Light Link)
protocol. VLL is directly supported by the scout (for a picture see
http://mindstorms.lego.com/visioncommand/). I wrote a program for the Scout
that allows me to program the Micro scout using inputs from two touch
sensors. Commands are selected by pressing touch sensor A. Touch sensor B
sends the selected command to the Micro Scout. This was easy to do because
the micro scout doesn't support very many commands. You can download a
document from the Lego site that outlines what commands are supported.
Go to http://www.legomindstorms.com/scout_sdk/SDK.asp
Download ScoutSDK.zip
I recently downloaded the 2.0 firmware and am about to repeat this effort
for the RCX. Maybe even write a programming interface that runs in the PC.
A program on the RCX could send different VLL messages based on messages
received on the IR port. A simple interpreter on the PC would send messages
to the RCX (via spirit.ocx) based on user inputs. Shouldn't take much more
than a few hours to do. Has anyone done this???
For more info check Lugnet/Robotics/VLL.
