Hi Robert,
true it s a non standard IR protocol, but so do Palm. After some searching over
the weekend, I came up with the following links.
(search google for: palm lego mindstorms)
1. http://www.advancenet.net/~kory/pilot/ This guy wrote 2 applications to
control the RCX brick thru the palm/IR tower/ and serial port from the palm
cradle. They look interesting.
2. http://members.rotfl.com/vadim/rcx/ these two guys have written an app
similar to the above one.
Unfortunately, due to the non standard protocols used by both Palm, and Lego
don't think its possible...:(
thanks
Bernard
