    Re: leJOS & BricxCC news —Brian B. Alano
    (...) Hmmm. I was seriously considering writing a leJOS package to support the LDCC IR Protocol. (Here's why: (URL) ) What capabilities were you going to add? Depending on your timeline, you might convince me to try FORTH. (21 years ago, 7-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

        Re: leJOS & LDCC IRP —Chris Phillips
     (...) I re-used a function to send command packets to the RCX that was designed for use with the original firmware, so it toggles the 0x08 bit of any repeated opcode bytes. Mark pointed this out to me when I was developing Full Throttle, but then he (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.trains)

        Re: leJOS & LDCC IRP —Juergen Stuber
     Hi, (...) I'm having a bit of difficulty to understand what you are trying to do, as I know Lejos but not the DCC/train side of things. In particular, on which side do you want to use Lejos, sending those remote commands from an RCX or from a PC? (...) (21 years ago, 12-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.trains)

   Thanks to Chris, Mark and Jürgen, I am successfully reading LDCC IRP packets with josx.rcxcomm.LLC! (I say reading, not parsing--haven't had time to clean it up, yet!) (21 years ago, 16-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java, lugnet.trains)
