Sorry for cross posting this but... I tried many times to *post* to the
lugnet._______@lugnet.com mailling lists scheme but never worked.
I'm tired of going to the http://news.lugnet.com/news/post/setup/ setting
things up, all goes well at the web side, but I always get the "441 New
Users Start Here:" email reply and... well I gave up :( argh... I like the
simplicity of lego-robotics@crynwr.com best.... call me squared old fashioned.
This was one of many messages sent originally to
lugnet.robotics.cybermaster@lugnet.com

The CyberMaster doesn't support the Message() command family.
I think the best way to simulate this, is to reserve a variable (ex: 0 or
31) for the only purpose of beeing set by the PC (using spirit.ocx or
whatever). Then, the CyberMaster(s) will poll that var for values different
from, say, -1, and respond to them like it would do with messages in a RCX :)
This technic can be done from PC to CM and the other way around, if needed,
reserving a variable to be pooled by the PC program to react accordingly.
I'm going to use this with my PC->CyberMaster->RCX setup, using the
CyberMaster as a RF receiver to pass along "messages" to the RCX through my
mcVLLlib.ncq
mc. (Tired of fighting with news-problems@lugnet.com)
