I was reading about these yesterday. They appear to have a serial port: (URL) anyone who understands these things able to get it to interact with our friend the RCX? It means nothing to me, but it appears they will run JAVA in some form. Scott A (24 years ago, 11-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.palm, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

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)

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)

(...) The type of navigation you seem to be talking about is called "dead reconning" by aviators. This method requires accurate distance, speed and direction mesurments. Counting motor revolutions does not even tell distance if the surface has (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

I am currently working on a program that will monitor where a RCX goes. I am trying to establish a coordinate system so if it finds a light it can tell the location of the light. I was thinking about monitoring motor revolutions, but then I am (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
