The protocol used by the standard firmware (which is what NQC relies on)
is described on these sites:
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~kekoa/rcx/
http://www.crynwr.com/lego-robotics/
the opcode of interest is F7 (thats what gets sent as a transmitted
message). The entire packet would look like this:
55 ff 00 f7 08 x ~x s ~s
where x is the message you want to send
~x is the one's complement of x
s is the checksum (f7 + x)
~s is the one's complement of the checksum
For example, sending message 1:
55 ff 00 f7 08 01 fe f8 07
Dave
p.s. You can also spy on nqc to figure out the packet. Tell nqc to
send the message, and enable verbose mode:
nqc -v -msg 1
