Hi, I can't find my lego mindstorm IR tower and I was thinking if it is possible to hack a generic IR dongle ( (URL) from a computer so that it can communicate with the RCX brick. Is that possible? How do I do this? Thanks (16 years ago, 5-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, the response time of the CLI is rather disappointing to say the least. Personally I think the CLI is best suited for controlling things like lights, and motors on someones town layout. For anything that requires precise control use an RCX (...) (16 years ago, 7-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics)
