hi list!
i want to send a single-byte message from the serial ir-tower
to the rcx, preferrably with visual basic. a program running on
the host pc should send/recieve message to/from the rcx.
what i found up to now is:
- sending messages from the tower not possible with spirit.ocx
- type "nqc -msg x" from the command line
(cool and quite fast, but needs the serial port to be free,
so spirit-comm would have to be opened and closed all
the time when switching between sending and recieving)
- several perl-scripts, c-programs etc. that send opcodes
to the serial port / tower
(impressing, but i don't have any of those environments
and i couldn't get it to work with vb or a comm-tool, maybe
i don't fully understand this opcode thing or use wrong
com-port settings?)
can anybody help me?
has someone ever made a vb-program that sends opcodes
via the serial tower to the rcx?
thanks a lot and many greetings
mat

| My replacement for spirit.ocx does not yet support sending messages to the RCX, but it would only take 10 min to add it. (It is planned, but first I am working on cloning spirit.ocx). As for receiving, the IR tower shuts down to fast to reliably (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
