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

Betreff: Re: RCX with Visual Studio

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...

I was wondering, if it's possible to program a RCX with Visual Studio (either
with C# or with C++(using something like SDL as an interface)). I kind of a
newbie with mindstorm, so what I imaging is the following: Actually I plan to
attach a camera to a RCX robot and to move the robot depending on the camera
images. I would need a way to influence the robot movement in real-time from a
GUI, that I'm coding myself with C++ or C#.



I suppose that I need to write a separate program that runs on the controller
and to integrate some code in my image processing software to interface with
the
robot. Right?



I found some project

dealing with RCX Programming with visual studio, but it seems quite outdated.



Can anybody give me a hint?



Thanks a lot in advance



Philip
