Have a look at my page : http://users.swing.be/philippe.jadin/mylego.htm I've buit a scanner with bidirectionnal control. Client (RCX) software written with NQC, 'server' (master=pc) soft written in borland delphi 3.0. But you can do the same with VB. It does quite exactly wath you want. This scanner features also realtime display of scanned pictures. You should first download the mindstorm sdk, at the mindstorm site. It's pdf file describing every features of spirit.ocx. Feel free to send me any comments, or to use my code... This one is far from perfect and could be adapted to vb... Good luck !

		PC <> RCX Communication?
Quick question: is there a way for the rcx to send data to the PC (and possibly vice versa)? I have a scanner base built, and ideally I would like a way to communicate with the RCX, with the PC controlling the movement of the scanner. I could (...)
