    Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Ed McGlynn
   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? (...)

        Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Mike Kory
     Ed, yes the RCX is acknowledging most commands. It does not do this with the commands used in LRemote ((URL) -- I'm stuck on the old name too, for the same reason). The motor commands used in LRemote are repeating commands. As long as you hold down (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
    
         Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Robert Eddings
      Mike, You beat my response by 3 minutes and we said basically the same thing. We've been working on the same things for so long we are starting to think alike. Scary huh?! :) Robert (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
     
          Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Mike Kory
      yes. Thanks for the nice words though. By the way I've given more thought to using the built in IR. I think we need to access the hardware directly to do it though. OmniRemote accesses the hardware directly too. I'm waiting for the color version of (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
    
         Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Ed McGlynn
     (...) OK. (...) Yes, I do. That's going to be my next step. (...) OK. Thanks for the appropriate re-direction. No sense wasting time figuring out another protocol just yet if it doesn't even come into play. (...) I'm working on a layout to publish (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
   
        Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Robert Eddings
   Ed, LEGO does not use IrDA protocol but this is not the problem with OmniRemote. OmniRemote simply records any IR it detects at training and transmits a copy of the signals no matter what format they are in. I believe the two main problems with (...)

        Re: Training OmniRemote for RCX commands —Ed McGlynn
   (...) I see. So OmniRemote isn't generic enough to handle all codes from any IR device? I guess that would create a lot of overhead that the developer of OmniRemote doesn't need to get involved with, if they just want to remain in the context of (...)
