I would like to experiment with communication between two autonomous robots.
Unfortunately I can't afford a second RCX.
So I would like to this thing with the RCX and my PC.
Is there a way to write a NQC program that interacts with a Visual Basic (or
Perl or C++) program with messages just like two RCXs would interact?
I know I have full acces to all the RCX-features with SPIRIT.OCX and I can
control the RCX completely from the PC. But this is not what I want. I want
them to communicate as independend systems over a simple communication
channel. Each side shoud run its own program. Is this possible?

| It seems that you want to run an RCX emulator on the PC side that can use the PC IR Tower as if it was the internal transmitter in the RCX brick. Thus you could run NQC generated bytecode in your robot, and NCQ generated bytecode on your PC. I know (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| (...) Unfortunately, Spirit.ocx doesn't support sending messages. However, the packet protocol is pretty simple so as long as you can access the serial port directly you should be able to build message packets. See the following web pages for more (...)
