Subject: 
Use built-in Ir instead of IR-Tower?

Hi!
i have a sub-notebook without any com-ports so i can't use my IR-Tower. But
the built in IR is reachable over com5 (btw: i'm working with cygwin). so i
changed dll to com5 (export...) but now i get the error(when dll'ing):
Error 21: sending keepalive

keepalive is needed to keep the IR-tower awake, so will disabling it help or
does this error-message simply say it can't send anything?
Is it possible at all?
Thanks for any input,
Roman

(...) The IR protocol is slightly different. While IRDA only sends short pulses the Lego Tower sends a signal for the whole time slot. It is very unlikely that one can get them work together. Jochen (22 years ago, 30-Sep-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
