Hi Brandon,
I've been using the PalmII with OmniRemote. It's real cool. But has
some limits. First off I am using just the PalmIII IR port (not some
addon)
and the PalmIII has a very short range (About 25 feet max to the RCX).
I've
got it so I can control the movment of the RCX motors. I use the PalmIII
like
a RC controller. But sometimes it doesn't responde. I think this is
because
of two things. One, the PalmIII's short range. Two, the Palm III only
records
one 'command' at a time per key. So you may need to set up a MACRO on
the
OmniRemote to get all the commands to the RCX.
Anyway... This is all I did to get my PalmIII to learn stuff.
I ran Botcode or NQC or something with a test panel. Then I had the
PalmIII
sitting right next to the RCX which was about a meter away from the IR
Tower.
Then I got the PALMIII ready to learn.
Then I send the motors on command (Or whatever you want)
and the PALMIII stored it to the key I set up.
THAT'S IT!!!
I've got my PalmIII set up to move the RCX Forward, Stop, Rev, Left,
Right.
Hope this helps,
