My planned solution for being to able to have constant reception
involves a little bit of non-Lego hardware. The IR receiver that
comes with the Mindpath IR-50 remote control is completely capable
of receiving the IR stream that Lego sends. It can't transmit
however, so I'd still have to keep a real Lego tower connected to
the computer too.
Since that IR receiver doesn't use any batteries, it's always on.
It's what I used for a while to analyze the stream the tower & rcx
were sending to each other.
