| Thanks for pointing that out, Kory. I've since downloaded the .zip files and I'm sure I'll have more success. See you in the l.r.p group... Ed (...) (26 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|
| Hi folks, all you Palm owners out there, don't forget to check out the lugnet.robotics.palm newsgroup. The earlier problem with BrickRemote and LRemote turned out to be the server.

| Well, it's hard to say what the problem might be. Since you've got the green LED going, you've probably got the cable wired correctly. And yes, it's 2400 baud, 1 start, 1 stop, 8 data, odd parity. Perhaps the packet isn't correct. Here's a sample (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

It contains something like 1,700 pieces including a 9v motor and a fwe (...) (26 years ago, 15-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
