Well, I have had great success using the palm to RCX tools (connecting the
Palm device to the IR tower for transmission to the bots) and somewhat limited
success with the Omniremote program that uses the built in IR port on the Palm
III.

My advice? Get all of them, they are very handy. I think the Omniremote is
trainable, so some refinement there is possible. Kudos to Robert Eddings for
giving it a shot.

And Mike Kory's Palm to RCX tool is GREAT for remote controlling runaway bots.


Anyone else had success stories with these? I want to store some NQC proggies
and download to the bots, that would be ideal and very portable, but, I may be
wishing on too far a star :)

(...) It's certainly possible. Whether anyone will actually go as far as to make something that can do that is an open question. :) (25 years ago, 14-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

(...) Edward, I have planned on updating the Palm Remote program for some time. The main problem with OmniRemote is that it is recording a pure IR signal along with the unavoidable background interference that is difficult to minimize. Think of it (...)
