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. The programs work fine now that they are in a .zip file. See: (URL) (...) (26 years ago, 17-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|

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)

Garry- I can't speak to your problem specifically, but you may actually want to try to make the HP speak directly to the RCX, skipping the IR Tower altogether. Someone claimed to have done this months ago, but never posted any code, so I have no (...) (26 years ago, 16-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I am trying to connect my HP49 Calculator with the Mindstorms IR Tower, I thought I had got the protocols right, the Green LED lights when I send the packet but nothing else, no reply from the RCX.

Dave, If you can still lay your hands on it, get the Technic Space Shuttle. I know it's an older set, but I still see them in shops occasionally (in the Netherlands). Price is around US$ 120. It comes with lots of gears, beams, plates, axles, parts (...) (26 years ago, 14-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
