    Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Michael Franklin Bosu
   Hi, Can somebody help me out with what is involved in transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC. I have an application and I have tried to read the message from the RCX on the PC, but i am not getting the desired results. Thanks Michael (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Chris Phillips
     (...) The one-byte messages supported by the RCX are not generally designed to go from the RCX to the PC. They are intended to go from the PC to the RCX, or from one RCX to another. One reason for this is that the original RS-232 IR tower would not (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

      (...) I'm not the originator of this thread but I am interested in the same problem. I'm intending to use MS visual c++ V4 spirt.ocx RIS 2.0 firmware and NQC (...) I do want to use two RCX's though. My plan is to have RCX No 2 send data to RCX No 1. (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
     
          Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Chris Phillips
       (...) I am not sure if there is a way to disable the communications on the RCX when using the standard firmware. You could try putting an aluminum foil blinder around RCX No 2's IR transceiver, but I've found IR notoriously difficult to block since (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

      (...) Giuseppe, your attachment was discarded by the LUGNET server. Could you briefly summarize the information from the readme file that you think is relevant to this discussion? Thanks in advance! - Chris. (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
     
          R: R: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Giuseppe Menga
      A C++ OO framework that encapsulates the LASM bytecode of Lego has been developed inside a didactical project. The class spirit that maintains the communication with the RCX is the fundamental part of this framework. The source code of this class (...) (21 years ago, 26-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
    
         Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Steven Lane
     I'm posting this on behalf of John Donaldson who is having a problem with his emails bouncing, so this is his text verbatim. Why can't a mode where a two byte sequence is sent. The first byte is the bot address and the second byte is the data code. (...) (21 years ago, 22-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
    
         Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Chris Phillips
     (...) This is a good technique for addressing messages to an individual RCX, and I've used it myself on many occasions. In this case, it is your RCX or NQC program on the 'bot that is "responding" or "not responding" either by taking action or (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
    
         Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Steven Lane
     (...) This is what I was wondering about. You have defined the core problem that needs solving (I was going to ask you to do that). So it seems we can have one PC to RCX link or multiple RCX's but not both, darn! (...) My initial idea/solution would (...) (21 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC —Steven Lane
   Would it be possible to have two RCX's communicate back and forth with a single PC by using two Infrared towers? By enclosing one tower/RCX pair in a box you could isolate the RCX's from interrupting each other's communications. I'm guessing that (...) (21 years ago, 25-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
