I don't use mine!

It makes a good addition if you only have one RCX. You can use it to do some of
the simple reactive behavior in order to save sensor and motor slots on the
RCX - a scarce resource indeed.

I was going for article number 3 in this newsgroup, as I have
quite a few in others.

The main reason I don't use mine is that many of my models
don't have motors! And when I do have them, I usually hook
them up to one of those train power thingies, in order to
save on batteries.

I was very disappointed with the code pilot program that was
on the website. I had hoped to be able to have just one code,
rather than many! (Like the few that appeared in the instruction
manual, for specific action series for specific models).

(...) The only reason those programs can be entered with one barcode is that the programs are hardcoded in the code pilot already. Ron (25 years ago, 7-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.codepilot)
