I've seen many people attempt this, but none who have succeeded.

		Using generic IR ports for RCX 1.5
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 (18 years ago, 5-Feb-09, to lugnet.robotics)
