Hi Brandon,
I actually used the RCX to train OmniRemote. I used an NQC program that
called SendMessage with each of the values that I wanted to train, waiting
for a switch press each time. I'm not sure if that will give you
results different from training with the tower, but it's worth a try. I
didn't get great performance - it took a few tries to get the RCX to
recognize the messages from the Palm (TM) Connected Organizer (I have to
say that cos I work there ;) and the range was pretty terrible, but I
could drive a robot around inch by inch.
Hope this helps,
- Ben.
PS There's a new creation on my page, a fairly basic plotter.
PPS I animated my NQC link button too - feel free to steal it. :)
