guess it's time to dive into the coding. :)


A common workaround is to have the PC occasionally poll the RCX to see if
it has anything new to send.  This way the PC starts all conversations, and
the RCX still gets to send messages (close to) when it needs them sent.

(...) If I understand you correctly, then this is more difficult than it sounds, because the IR tower shuts down after a few seconds after the PC stops transmitting. Things work fine if the PC initiates a conversation (e.g. by asking the RCX to send (...) (25 years ago, 23-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
