This is actually a request for information.  I am currently trying to control
my RCX through the use of communication from my PC.  The idea is that through
some method I can type things into the computer and this will control the rcx
via the IR tower.  I have looked at LNP and the associated winLNP and found
very little documentation.  I have also heard rumour of signals that can be
sent to the RCX??  I would really like to have some help on at least the place
to find information on this subject as I am sure it is there but my web
searching skills must be sadly lacking.  Does anybody know if either the
winLNP or signals solution is viable at all and where there is documentation
for these or of any other solution and documentation for that?

I don't know much about winLNP, but we use a small util based on the LNP code:

(it's called ir tool or something like that).

If you want to integrate it into your own code (rather than calling a seperate
executable), have a look at the version I use in LegoVision:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/legovision/LookingLego/?cvsroot=legovision
(look for InfraRed.cpp and InfraRed.h - the sending works fine, I don't know
about the receiving)

Hope-that-helps,
Peter
