| Hi, Is pbForth fully compatible with RCX 1.0? Can RCX 2.0 communicate with RCX 1.0 in pbForth (using IR ports)? Thanks Mario (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

| Thanks, Just to make sure, let's take an example. Let's say that I have two RCX, named A and B. What if the program in RCX B is waiting for a character on the instruction KEY and RCX A sends a character, let's say '5' (ASCII 52) with 52 EMIT ? That (...)

You can make a special word that waits for anything you like... Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)
