In the RIS code the "Send to RCX" and "RCX Sensor Watcher" allow you to send
and
recieve between two RCX units. This is how we were able to get wireless
control.
Each "Send To RCX" and "RCX Sensor Watcher" requires a # between 1 and 255. The
RCX, once programed, only looks for those #s before it will implement the
command relating to the #. Of course this requires two RCXs, thats the
downside.
But the investment is well worth it. We created controllers using touch sensors
and rotation sensors. Look at the website again, some of the pics show off the
contollers we were using.
