I'm not 100% sure, but when I used Spirit.OCX (VC, VB, Delphi, etc...) for some research, I was under the impression that it supported 3 types of interface: "Radio" (CyberMaster), "InfraRed" (RCX, Scout) and I think it was "Cable" or "Direct" or (...)

Another doubt: When I'm programming with NQC, is there a way to run the program (simulate its behavior actualy) without the RCX (because I don't have it yet)? Thanks, -- Paula Berger E-mail: pberger@terra.com.br paula@inf.pucrs.br ICQ#: 71133278 (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
