Mike,
Sense I don't have the proper cable configuration yet I haven't tried
loading your program yet. I will and tell you the results of how it does
on my PalmIIIx running OS3.3.
As you know, I've been tinkering with a Palm remote program also. I have
not programmed on the Palm before so I will be putting that project on
the back burner and spend the time learning more about Palm programming.
Your program looks to be going in the right direction so I will be happy
to assist you in testing and offering suggestions.
I believe that a limited RCX programming interface in your program would
be very useful. A system like the Scout would be neat but I could see
that a simple statement block stack system, like the one that comes with
the RIS, could have inputs that would be quick enough to be usable on
the Palm. Here is a quick idea:
1. One screen could have a list of all the program blocks. Such as ON,
WAIT, BEEP, REVERSE, etc. Taping on a block adds to a database of chosen
blocks. A button would open a screen of blocks selected.
2. On the screen of selected blocks, each block could be tapped that
would show the options to be set for that block such as "ON []A []B
[]C".
buttons or menu items for this screen could include LOAD, SAVE, and
DOWNLOAD.
I think that this would be quick for the user to tap in a program with
the only manual input being a few numbers.
With me being a webmaster I make my living designing user interfaces. If
you are interested, even if this is something you my not undertake for
awhile, I would be glad to develop this idea more and share it with you.

| Robert, sorry to hear the IR thing didn't work out. Many of us were looking forward to seeing that work. Your offer for the interface sounds great. I wouldn't be getting to it real soon, but if you set up a web page with your ideas, members of this (...) (25 years ago, 8-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

| Well, I've now had reports from users with Palm III's and Palm Pros that haven't any problems. So, if you're willing--the more people that try it, the better. I have a Palm Pro and haven't had any trouble of course. You can install the program (...) (25 years ago, 7-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
