Hi there !
I've got a question concerning ir communication with the brick ...
After having done some low-level debugging to make a self-written programm
communicate with my brick using the IR tower, I'd like to make my programm
control the brick.
question :
Is it right that the brick can't talk to the PC by using the NQC - Message
Instruction ? I made the brick send messages continiously but I don't get any
output from the IR tower towards my PC. I have a faint idea that the message
function is only for talking between two bricks by means of using a different
protocol to the one usually used.
If this is the case, I only can listen to the brick by polling the datalog,
right ?
I hope anybody here can help me ...
Bye Thomas

So the listening program would need to be sending keep-alive messages periodically. I think that Dave will put something (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
