Could someone write a C program that just hangs out and waits
for the RCX to send a datalog to it?

from a program.  The UploadDatalog and SetDatalog are Immediate Commands and
can not be included in an RCX program.

(...) I see your point about UploadDatalog, as the tower falls asleep and the PC won't hear the RCX shouting. But SetDatalog seems to work in a program just fine, to set the size of the datalog buffer. BTW, what is the maximum size for the datalog, (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi all, Could someone write a C program that just hangs out and waits for the RCX to send a datalog to it? RCXLOG is great but not quite what I need. RCXLOG.exe Tells the RCX to upload a datalog, prints it out, then quits. I'd like something that (...) (25 years ago, 23-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
