This isn't done by changing the baud rate, but by bypassing all SIO hardware
in the palm and directly generating all frequencies in software (by
measureing the CPU speed and using a calibrated delay loop). My pbrick
required major hardware hacking and attaching a oscilloscope to both, the
palm and the rcx to verify proper signal generation. I am afraid a pocket pc
versoin would even be more complex due to more variations in the IR hardware
used by the different vendors. This IMHO absolutely isn't a project suited
for a beginner. Several people contacted me for help porting pbrick to pocket
pc, but obvously none of them succeeded.
Ciao,

| Please pardon my ignorance but, do your files have to be integrated into the program to communicate with the RCX? (Provided that Palms have com ports,) Would it be possible to create a program that would create a virtual COM port for programs to (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
