This is what each message (1-12) will command the scout to do:

Message 1: Seek dark

Message 2: Seek light

Message 3: The Bug Dance

Message 4: Forward A and B

Message 5: Reverse A and B

Message 6: Forward A, reverse B

Message 7: Reverse A, forward B

Message 8: Forward A, off B

Message 9: Reverse A, off B

Message 10: Off A, Forward B

Message 11: Off A, Reverse B

Message 12: Off A, Off B

*Messages 4-12 control the scout for half a second, then the scout returns
to its original motion. The RCX overrides the Scout's default motion.
However, if a sensor event or a special effect occurs on the Scout, it
interrupts the RCX's control...

The "Ghost" file you refer to is ghost.ocx a replacement for spirit.ocx in
the upcoming RIS 2.0.  (This is what the site said a while back).  IT was
used in the "Mindscript" compiler included in the SDK for the RCX.  This
controller also compiled code for use with the scout.  I also believe that
the "ghost.ocx" file was included with the scout SDK as well.

You can send these commands from RCX code using the "SendMessage" function.

Have fun

Hi all, I need to know where I can find uot what each message 1-12 will do on the scout. I tries and some of them work the motor ports but about the others??? Also is there a way to use the RCX as a remote control like the infrared remote available (...) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics)
