Howdy, I have a Sony RM-AV2000 remote control. Is there anyway to use it to control my Lego Mindstorms kit? Jason (24 years ago, 31-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) A related thought, Radio Shack among others sells remotes that can learn by watching other remotes blink commands and storing them into the remote. One might be able to capture signals from the Lego remote, and perhaps even capture signals (...) (24 years ago, 1-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, Jason. Try learn from the IR tower itself. If that works, you make it learn what ever you want. All you need is to use RcxCC or similar software.
