Howdy,
all the Scout byte codes are available at:
http://www.advancenet.net/~kory/scout/
I will give more in-depth information and examples in the future, but all
the codes are now there.
Unlike the RCX, it looks like it is possible to get a program off the Scout.
With the RCX you can download programs to the RCX but can't upload the
program from the RCX to a PC. I believe we *can* upload a program from the
Scout.
Now I guess we need a LASM disassembler ;-)
It also means that we can save the binary version of a Scout program to a
Palm Pilot. We could then use the Palm to archive and download programs to
the Scout. This could be handy since the Scout has less memory than the RCX
and can only hold one program at a time.
Of course, we could also write a LASM assembler for the Palm, but I think it
would be tedious to do all the program writing on the Palm. Maybe if we had
a lot of pop-up menus to tap on choices it wouldn't be so bad...
By the way I didn't reverse engineer these codes. They just appeared to me
in a Thanksgiving turkey induced dream.
