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 detailed information on rcx packets and
bytecodes.

A very good reference of the bytecodes, protocol, etc:

| 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 (...) (24 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
