Look at the material, it contains a readme file.
this is just the top of the iceberg.
If you are interested let me know.

Since you have still not provided more information about the programming

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

Perhaps a better way to get information from the RCX to the PC is to have
the PC poll the RCX.  Using the standard RCX firmware, you can store a • data
value in one of the 32 program variables, then have the PC periodically • send
an "interrogate variable value" opcode to the RCX.  The RCX will respond • by
sending back the 16-bit value in that variable.  This will NOT work if • you
have more than one RCX in the room, since they will all try to respond to
the PC poll and will walk all over each others' transmissions.

I do want to use two RCX's though.

My plan is to have RCX No 2 send data to RCX No 1. RCX No 1 will then
forward this data along with it's own to the PC which will process it and
then send a response just to RCX No 1. RCX 1 will then signal RCX 2 to • begin
the cycle again.

Couldn't I just tell RCX 2 to shut down comms for a short while so it • would
not interfere with RCX 1's comms to the PC?

(...) 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. (22 years ago, 23-May-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
