Having read the messages in the various newsgoups, I must admit I'm a little puzzled. I've seen a lot of discussion about IR communication, but I don't think I have a straight answer.

I can get it to work if i hold the blue side of the scout aimed at the tower at about 30 centimeters, with the tower set to short mode. That seems to be the only way to do it, any different and no go. (24 years ago, 15-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

Make sure that you tell nqc (or MacNQC) that you are using a Scout. You can do this by adding -Tscout to the command line (NQC) or selecting the appropriate target in the preferences dialog for MacNQC. The USB tower and Scout seem to be very (...) (24 years ago, 14-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)
