Salut Benjamin,

Does anybody :
    1. knows about a program that would do what I want, ie send a string
to the RCX throught the usb IR tower

Lejos can do that, and it could also be used on the RCX.

    2. what are the messages sent by the remote control tool from
BricxCC ?

I would bet on the RemoteCommand (0xD2) LASM command.
There is a description in the SDK 2.5, "LASM byte codes.pdf", page 61.
The SDK can be found by http://www.google.com/search?q=mindstorms+sdk+2.5

You could also just capture and display anything that is sent.

Maybe there is also a program in the SDK that can do what you want.
(I don't know because I use Linux.)


Bonne chance

Jürgen

Hi all, I'm writing down some practical work for students that learn computer science. The goal is to teach them how a serial communication works. Therefore, we want them to write a program that listens to serial communications. The PC will send (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
