If you can find software on the net that allows you to use your Ipak as a remote control, then I'm sure it can be converted for the RCX.  I don't believe you will.

I also don't know much about Pocket PC 2002.

Anyone?

I also read somewhere that there might be a way to change the frequency,
possibley by increasing the "baud rate"?
I know that there is a way (at least on Palms) to change the frequency, because
I downloaded a Remote Control program that would learn the signals from the
actual remote. In its settings, it had different frequencies.

Could there be a way to recompile a compiler to work on "Microsoft Pocket PC
2002."

Thank you for your time! (This is one of the first posts I've...well, posted ;-) Remote: (URL) was my theory too :-) (that if there is a communication software, and a compiler) Tim (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
