Hi there !

For an educational project here at university we want to control a brick
(1.0)
based robot with ir based communiaction over serial connection. We want
to
use the Win Hyperterminal to control the robot.


The RCX uses a special packet protocol which involes a lot of binary
(non-ASCII) bytes, so controlling it with Hyperterminal won't work very
well.

Your best bet is to either write your own code to send the packets of
the serial port or just call NQC with the -msg option.

Has anybody here some information or some NQC - code to do so ?
There's also the problem that we don't know well which parameters
(baudrate /
data flow control ...) to use for the IR tower.

2400 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop, odd parity, no handshaking.  However,
you'll need to format things as RCX packets.

See http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc/doc/faq.html#control for a more
detailed explanation.
