Hi Agents,

Just in case this hasn't been mentioned before, it is possible to
send an RCX message from a Spybot to an RCX. I cobbled
together the following MindScript programs and downloaded them
using ScriptEd.  Basicly, if you press the spybot "bumper" button,
it'll activate a motor on port A of the RCX.  Nothing exciting,
but it does demonstrate that sensor info from the Spybot
can make its way over to the RCX.

BTW, I think it's pretty cool that I was able to run two
simultaneous copies of ScriptEd (one for the Spybot, one
for the RCX) after setting up the DIY SDK mentioned in
this thread:

program SpybotSender
  {
  #include "spybot.h"
  #include "globals.h"
  main
    {
    // Do something fun with the leds & speaker
    Disp(ledSparkle)
    sound sndHitByLaser

    forever
      {
      if bumper is closed
        { SendRCXMessage(1) }
      else
        { SendRCXMessage(2) }

      wait 10
      }
    }
  }

program RCXReceiver
  {
  #include"rcx2.h"
  main
    {
    forever
      {
      select message
         {
         when 1 { on A clear message }
         when 2 { off A clear message }
         }

      wait 5
      }
    }
  }

(...) MindScript syntax highlighting, improved error reporting (over that provided by ScriptEd) and Spybot support (one talking to the RCX via the USB tower and the other talking to the Spybot via COM1) is even cooler. :-) In case anyone else would (...)
