Great information Eric!
I had noticed that the red light pulsed but it did not occur to me that
it could be a coded message. If I could get a scan of Code Pilot Code
Card, I would like to do some experiments to see if and what codes the
Scout could read.
Wordperfect has a bar code generator wizard that creates bar codes in
many formats. If the Code Pilot/Scout bar code format is not unique, I
could create any number of bar codes to test with.
As spacing between light and dark is not a major factor in reading a bar
code, I wonder if a bar code displayed on a computer monitor could be
read by the Scout if it was dragged in front of the screen. Just an
idea.
