I haven't tried this yet (I only just today bought my first Scout) but it
appears they are saying that the Code Pilot codes that the Scout sends [1] are

(...) that (...) I did, and it works great! My brother Giulio and I connected the Scout to the Micro Scout with a fiber optic, and the Micro Scout (in P mode) behaves like a third motor slave to the Scout. The remote controller works too: the C (...) (25 years ago, 6-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
