Thanks for all the nice comments. I've spent some time searching the web about IR. Since the Palm uses the IrDA standard and so do PCs, I figured that someone must have written some sort of remote control for PCs. And maybe they would have source (...)

Mike, I like the improvements you made to LRemote and the new web site looks great. The section on connecting to the tower that shows the minifig laying buzz saw to cable is just too funny! One suggestion is that when you describe taking the back (...) (26 years ago, 18-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Howdy, version 1.1 of LRemote is available. I added the ability to control motor C--use the up and down scroll buttons to make it go forward and reverse. Also added some visual feedback when you press the arrows. Don't forget to check out Carl (...) (26 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

| | Built-in IR
|
|
The problem with programming the built-in IR in the Palm is that one needs to access and control the hardware directly. You can't use the normal programming interfaces for controlling the IR. This requires an in-depth knowledge of IR protocol and (...) (26 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

It looks like the problem was the files were corrupted on download. When I send the files via email they have worked fine. I've put them in .ZIP files this time. So, try it again!

No the hot sync cable (cradle) wouldn't work - I have modified the cradle to stop the battery drain problem, but don't think this caused the problem I know the modem cable is wired differently it's a 25 pin connector and I used a 25pin to 9 pin (...)

David, Are you saying that the HotSync cable didn't work? It worked for me when connected directly from the Palm to the tower (I had to cut off the screws to make it fit in the tower). I haven't seen the modem cable for the Palm. Does it fit into (...) (26 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Yes do put some programming ability into your app, would be useful to write simple programmes to test models without having to get to a PC. Hey maybe Dave Baum can write a NQC compiler!

There seems to be a problem with BrickRemote for two people so far. In both cases it occurs when they hot sync. I don't have an answer to this since my program hasn't even been run yet. In one case, the user lost *all* their data on the Palm and had (...) (26 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
