I'm trying to use the spirit.ocx ActiveX control and VB to program my RCX (I realize this is a NQC newsgroup, but I didn't see one for VB users). My problem is that my infrared tower runs off the USB port, but spirit.ocx exposes only the serial (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) Forgot to mention that now I am ready to tackle Legway using the ADXRS300 Gyro, ADXL202 Accelerometer, and a bit of Kalman filtering. Watch out Steve, I am coming ;-) Steve, you did an AMAZING JOB on LegWay!!!.... Cheers, Ram (20 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | RE: Bluetooth and firmware query
|

Mike, If you're interested, pbForth replacement firmware may be the answer for many of your issues. My serial driver for the RCX is a straight half duplex that turns off the receiver when transmitting to avoid echoes from the IR. It could be (...)

|

As some of you may know, we have been hacking RCXs and adding bluetooth modules. What would make life easier is some help modifying the firmware to increase the speed of the serial protocols to the max the Hitachi chip can handle, which is a lot (...)

(...) I probably botched the DOS serial driver, but you could give this build a try. (Requires at least a 386) (URL) had the djgpp version of gcc lying around from a previous DOS project, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

(...) Call me kooky, but I'd like to see actual DOS support (ie, non-Win32s specific code) for the serial port. I have an old, trusty Win3.11 laptop that I want to use when taking my RCX out to events, for last minute fiddling. I've found version (...)
