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 (0x0000) that is needed at the end of
the command chain. The LEGO remote control repeats the action command
while the button is pressed and then sends the 0x0000 on button release.
OmniRemote cannot duplicate this because it does not send "on button
release" signals. OmniRemote does allow macro commands to be assigned to
buttons but I don't see how this could help.

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