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)
