Hi,
  QuiteC's IR facilities are rudimentary.  They send and receive single bytes.
I need to be able to make it send and receive lego IR protocol messages for
opcode 0xf7.

  I'm not having much luck.

  When I send a 0xf7 opcode with a message of 0x03 (using brickOS as a known
good thing), it is supposed to send:

0x55,0xff,0x00,0xf7,0x08,0x03,0xfc,0xfa,0x05

I assume that brickOS is behaving correctly.

On the quiteC side I receive this:

0x5d,0xff,0x00,0x03,0xfc,0xfa,0x05

Two mysteries:

1.  How did the 0x55 header byte get garbled to 0x5d?
2.  Where in the heck did the opcode bytes (0xf7,0x08) go?

Any help with QuiteC IR would be greatly appreciated.

Kevin

(...) Not knowing EXACTLY what is going on with QuiteC, I can only offer some suggestions.... The 0x55 to 0x5D might just be IR warmup goofiness. As far as I know, the RCX really only looks for the FF 00 Not sure what happened to the F7 and 08, but (...) (21 years ago, 3-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) It is my conclusion that QuiteC is not receiving back to back IR bytes fast enough, and that characters are lost. Kevin (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
