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 off the IR
tower, you may want to caution people to take note of the 9V battery's
polarity. With the cover off there is nothing to stop you from placing
the positive and negative in reverse on the contacts. This may damage
the IR tower if the battery is backwards.
I'm still working on the internal IR problem but it has me stumped at
the moment. There is output and it can only be the serial data being
sent but it still does not work. There must be something that the LEGO
IR tower does to the data besides just turning the high and low voltage
to pulses of IR. Perhaps one of the electrical engineers in
lugnet.robotics has more info on this.
Thanks again for the best Palm to RCX programs available!

| 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 (...)
