Quick question: is there a way for the rcx to send data to the PC (and
possibly vice versa)?
I have a scanner base built, and ideally I would like a way to communicate
with the RCX, with the PC controlling the movement of the scanner. I could
probably use live control, but the timings need to be very precise so it
really needs the RCX being told to move x units by the pc, and doing the
timing of the move for itself.
Basically I am looking for a way to SendMessage() to the RCX, and a way to
receive messages sent by the RCX. The code onboard the RCX is NQC, and
ideally I would like to use VB+Spirit.ocx to receive messages from the 'bot
and control it by sending it messages.
The robot is controlled by interpreting Message() and sends back information
using SendMessage(), now I need the same kind of functionality at the PC
end. Anything which runs/compiles on NT4 would do...
