Mike, Robert - Thanks for your wealth of insight on this. I'm starting to come up to speed, I think. So, the RCX is acknowledging the IR tower command string, based on receipt of a EOS of some sort, perhaps, and OmniRemote can't process that ACK? (...)

I'm not 100% positive, but I don't think you need the button release command if you are just using motor control commands.

(...) That's good advice. I forgot to mention to Ed that having the RCX on will confuse OmniRemote because of the return IR from the RCX. The problem I have found with using the LEGO remote commands to train OmniRemote is the final d2 command (...) (26 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Hi Ed, I have found that training OmniRemote works best if you don't hold the Palm too close to the LEGO IR tower and the room is dim. When you train OmniRemote the settings are updated in the OmniRemote.PDB file (the program file is Remote.PRC). (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Hello - I've downloaded and implemented Robert Eddings' OmniRemote.PDB to my Palm IIIx, but I'm going to retrain the buttons, as some don't work, and some work intermittently. Robert has noted that training the OmniRemote was not consistant - do you (...) (26 years ago, 8-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Robert, you don't need to set the frequency. Just set the baud rate to a high frequency. Like 76K. Then try the things we talked about via email. MIke Robert Eddings <webmake@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:38484B10.636C8C...uth.net... (...) (26 years ago, 4-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Mike, I've done quite a bit of investigating and I can't find a way to change the Palm IR transmission frequency. The IR library is supposed to allow low level configuration of the IR port but I don't see any way to set the frequency. This seems (...) (26 years ago, 3-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
