I tried the following program and it seems to be doing something useful with the sensor power. I looked at it on the scope and it generates a regular pattern with 10ms pulses. I don't have one of these sensor mux devices so I can't actually tell if (...) (21 years ago, 19-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Michael, It depends on what type of software you are running on the PC. If you are talking directly to the serial port (or USB port) on the PC side, then you don't need to adhere to any specific packet type, you can invent your own (if that's what (...)

I just wondered - is it possible to use the ir tower as an irDA-port? I know that it isn't the protocal that the rcx uses, but since the rcx can coummunicate with e.g. a palm .. (URL) shouldn't it be possible to do it the other way round? In that (...) (21 years ago, 18-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I'm working on a few programming utilities that will work with the RCX, Scout, and Control Lab (...) (21 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

The system sound 1-sec delay explains some of my observation. The rest is explained, I think, byt the fact that my test program was also using data logging to record the timer values.
