That reminds me, I've collected a few Palm links over the past months, so I
just created a little page for these:
http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/palm/
As far as I know, there are at least 3 ways to use the Palm Pilot in
connection with the RCX:
1. OmniRemote
2. Mike's program (above)
3. Vadim Strizhevsky's & Owen Stenseth's RCXLib (not sure of the
current status)
Questions:
- Are there any other RCX <-> Palm Pilot projects under development?
- Anyone had any success getting a Palm Pilot to talk to a Scout or a
MicroScout?
- What other major (popular) IR devices/platforms can be used to control
the RCX (or be controlled _by_ the RCX)? Over the months, people have
mentioned:
Palm Pilot
Wince
Gameboy
HP100LX & HP200LX
Casio Model 1174 CMD-40 watch
...and a few others...
- The /robotics/palm/ area on LUGNET is just a links & info area (in
other words, it's not a discussion group area like the other robotics
areas). Should the /palm/ part be moved down a level, beneath some
more general category for all IR control devices, or is Palm
Computing® such a huge thing that all other IR devices are merely
also-rans?
