The string of bytes that the tower sends to transmit the message "1"
is fairly long (a "wakeup" sequence, the data and complemented data,
and checksum/~checksum). Perhaps the remote control can't learn
sequences that long?
You could cannibalize one of the TalkRCX programs people have written
to see what the remote is transmitting. That'd be my next step.

| Has anyone gotten a "learning" remote control to work with the RCX? I'm refering to the type of remote that is capable of learning commands from existing remotes. I recently purchased on of these from Radio Shack, and tried to teach it to send IR (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
