You may want to consider using Java to program the RCX from a PDA - I've
used a Zaurus to control an RCX but it should work on a Ipaq as well
(not IR yet).

And if you attach a PDA (with a WiFI card) to a bot - you can control it
via 802.11

I'm not asking for anyone to write any programs for me.
All I would like is help and answers to my questions :-)


1: Is it possible to communicate with the RCX from the Ipaq's IR?

2: Where can I find information on the Ipaq 3835's IR system?

3: How do I go about making programs for the Ipaq?

4: Is it feasible that a "bridge" program could be made for NQC?
(To "fake COM 1" and route the info through the IR port)

5: Could LegOS(soon to be changed) ever be ported to Pocket PC 2002?
