To send a message use the following:

SendMessage(<variable> or <number>);

The variable must be of integer type between 1 - 255
The number must be between 1 - 255

To read a message from the IR port do
<variable> = Message();

This will put whatever number is in the message buffer into your <variable>


As to what to decided to send and get this depends on your code.  Here is a
simple example.  You have 2 RCX. RCXA and RCXB  A will always send and B
will always recieved and respond via a light output.

code for RCXA (Note I am typing this out of the top of my head and have not
run it yet... also not going to show all the code (initaliazation, etc.)

TurnLight = 1;  // Let RCX B know to turn on output 1 (Motor/Light on A)
SendMessage(TurnLight);

Wait(100);
TurnLight = 2; // Let RCX B know to turn on output 2
SendMessage(TurnLight);
...


For RCXB

while (true)
{
   if (Message() == 1) // Got a message 1 in your buffer so turn on motor A
   {
     Off(OUT_A+OUT_B+OUT_C);
     OnFwd(OUT_A);
   }
   elseif (Message() == 2)
.
.
.
}

I'd like to know how to:

and

b) learn how to recieve messages

Thanks in advance.
