I have developed a framework of classes in C++ that encapsulates the
the RCX and its communication either from serial and from usb port.
The framework is based on a proprietary library of fundation classes by SYCO
called G++ that can be freely accessed from the web.
The Lego framework has never been ported on winCE, but the fundation library
yes. So I don't see any problem to recompile the Lego software under winCE
environment.
If you are interested in more details of the Lego framework and on the SYCO
G++ library see in this discussion group my other mails in the thread
Transmitting a message from the RCX to the PC.
