I saw some programs for a palm pilot that makes it a learning remote. They were used in the same way the Lego remote was: directly controlling the rcx. I was wondering if anyone had a link for the same thing for a pc/laptop... -Rob (25 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Do you mean that you have used the Lego Mindostorms IR tower through this adapter? If so, the Belkin USB dockstation might be worth looking at, as it also has a parallel port and 3 usb ports. I have had my eyes on this for some time, but was (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Dave and Luis, Thank you both for the information. I'm big admirer of the work you've done for the RCX community. (...) I see. (60/0.003)/16 = 1250 And if you were worried about the Sampling Theorem you would divide that in half just to be sure.. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
