If you REALLY wanted to do this, you could use the bytecode to broadcast
the battery information to the IR tower and have a service running on the
PC which would recieve the battery message and then send an appropriate
message back to the RCX. Pretty slopy but it should work.

| Last night I went out and bought six C cell nicads and wired them up as a power supply for my robot. What I'm wondering is this: is there some way to programmatically obtain the battery voltage, so I could make a decision based on a voltage (...) (26 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
