Hi
We just got into RCX. We have been using my Palm III and Visor to control the
RCX.
We have this great idea but need some help. We have an old Logitech Trackman
remote control mouse. It uses RF.
The idea is to some how convert the Serial output from the RF mouse to RCX
IR. We can mount the mouse rcv on the Robot.
I belive this connection is one way which does have some limiaion. It is
cheap. The xmit side has a trackball which could be used to control the RCX.
