It won't be easy to write a program with Visual Studio that runs ON
the RCX.  It should be pretty easy (for a programmer) to write a
program that runs on a PC, and uses the IR tower to send commands to
the RCX, telling it what to do.

Also, you can't connect a camera directly to the RCX.  So, one way or
another, it will be connected to a PC.

This page will have all the information you need:
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/

The only real question is if you can find it in there...

  AW: RCX with Visual Studio
 
Hi, Using the the IR from and independant PC sound like a good solution. The camera is not connected directly to the RCX, but to the PC, that sends the IR command depending on the camera pictures. Thanks for your help Philip -----Ursprüngliche (...) (17 years ago, 14-Sep-09, to lugnet.robotics)
