I'm working on a project that requires four RCX's to be controlled by one
laptop. The program on the laptop is written in Java and the program on the
RCXs is written in lejos. I'm using RCXPort to establish a connection
between them.
The problem I'm running into is that if I have more than one RCX running in
front of the same tower, it causes an exception and then prevents the laptop
from sending the data to the RCX.
Has anyone found a way around this?
I figure I can always put blinds in front of the IR ports and just have one
open at a time, but that slows down the transfer speed.
I even tried having the RCXs retrieving data only and the laptop sending only.

| (...) Hi Jonathan, I send messages from the PC to 3 RCX's with no problem, but I use the Tower object running on my PC, and Serial in the RCX. I don't use Stream objects because they actually only send one byte at a time and not yet very reliable. (...) (22 years ago, 7-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
