Hi,
I'm fairly new to all these things with the Lego Minstorm (i.e. I only
picked one up last Tuesday.), so this might be a fairly stupid question,
but I've been unable to find an answer.
I've been using the LegOS distirbution running under gcc on a linux box to
do some simple development, but what I would like would be to use the IR
transmitter as debuging output with a simple terminal program. The problem
is that whenever I try and send anything with the IR functions in LegOS I
end up sending more than the bytes that I want to send, it seems to be
wrapped in some kind of header.
I've looked at the hforth implementation for RCX, and that does pretty
much what I want to do, so I'm assuming it is possible, I just don't know
how it was done.
If someone has any idea how I should go about doing this, or just
something to point me in the right direction I would be very greatful.
Thanks!
Mark Assad.

| (...) The problem is that you can't simply use a terminal program to communicate with the RCX. The IR interface doesn't allow the transmission of arbitrary patterns of bytes and therefore won't allow it. You need to encode bytes before sending them, (...)
