|
|
Just thought people might like to know I have developed a piece of Palm Software called Robotic Mover which allows you to remotely control your RCX. Unlike the other available software, This does actually use the built in infrared port of the Palm (...) (23 years ago, 30-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Greetings, Paul! Have you received any word from user's re: Robotic Mover works on a Visor? (My Visor Deluxe will install and run the app OK, but tapping an onscreen control appears to immediately shut the unit down and I cannot power it back up (...)

Greetings, I ought to have my head examined ;-) Paul's Robotic Mover worked perfectly on my wife's 2MB Visor but acted quite strange on my Visor Deluxe. Well, the fix and an easy one at that was to completely reset the Visor, reinstall all the apps (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

Hi! Anybody has tried this soft using a Palm IIIe with a Scout ? I can't get it to work. The only response I got from my Scout is the light sensor led blinking when I put the Palm too close and push some button of the program. I also wanted to know (...)

I've been very interested in tightly coupling my Palm and RCX for over a year. Simply put, I want to have the Palm be a higher level 'brain' for my robotic creations, acutally being part of the robot. I use Forth for the majority of my Palm coding (...)

(...) Paul, Nice work - I installed it on my Visor Platinum, but it acts weird. The Forward/back arrows run motor A, the left/right motor B and the buttons to the right motor C. The motor 1/2/3 buttons do nothing and the stop button will not stop a (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

(...) I'm guessing that using the built in IR port is close to the signal needed but not quite there. It's a shame LEGO used such an alien signal for their towers. But I really do love having FULL NQC on my iPAQ! At our last show I was able to fully (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)

(...) It's very close to what is used in standard remote controls, so it's a natural choice and not that alien. They couldn't use the Irda protocol used in Notebooks or handhelds because it is too complicated for such a small computer as the RCX. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.palm)
