Robolab 2.5 (which supports the USB tower) has the following VLL commands:

1. Send Command over the VLL port to the Microscout (supports both direct
and script commands)

2. Send 7-bit VLL command to the VLL port

3. Send VLL command to another device (it actually mentions the Code Pilot,
which puzzles me since I didn't think it supported VLL)

to do such things from the PC.

So, that would seem to imply that it is possible to program a MicroScout
from the PC? Using what software? Has anyone actually done this?

There's one more piece in RIS 2.0 compared to RIS 1.5, a long and
wide fiber optic piece (unlike those in e.g. space shuttle 8480).

That goes with the new USB tower, to allow communications with a Micro
Scout. You stick one end in a hole in the USB tower, and the
other end into
a hole in a Micro Scout.

An addendum to my previous post. The VLL section of this newsgroup also mentions: 1. A user-written package WINVLL that supports the USB tower and the Microscout. 2. That the Code Pilot does support VLL. (...) (23 years ago, 31-Oct-01, to lugnet.robotics)
