I have an RCX 1.0, which I program in Visual Basic, and a couple of Micro Scouts
from the DDK and DSDK.
Can the Micro Scouts understand RCX IR messages and if so what do they do in
response?
Is the "P" mode of the Micro Scouts the way to program them from the RCX?
Can the Micro Scouts understand signals from the RCX IR tower?
What are the basic instructions for setting up programming the Micro Scouts - I
don't want to get buried in the detail of languages etc...
Is there a list of VLL codes and what they do in each programmable unit?
I have the RCX SDK - do Micro Scouts understand the same instructions and how
can I put such a program in a Micro Scout?

| Here are a couple answers for you... (...) I THINK you can program a Micro Scout using the USB tower. The 1.5 & 2.0 sets come with a fiber-optic cable that you can use. (...) Here's a page with more info about VLL (URL) (...) Hope that helps Steve (20 years ago, 25-May-04, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Hi Mark, here's a program in Mindscript for your RCX that will exercise the Microscout a bit: program RCX2MS { #include"rcx2.h" #include"rcx2vll.h" main { vll_begin(B) forever { ms_Fwd(B) ms_Fwd(B) ms_Fwd(B) ms_Rwd(B) wait 200 // 2 seconds } } (...)

| (...) A little off topic for this thread, but I thought it was worth mentioning: The microscout can be controlled by a spybot as well. The spybot has both IR comms and VLL I/O. So a spybot has two built in motors and can control a microscout for a (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.robotics)
