 | | Vision Command Questions
|

Hello, I have a few questions about Vision Command. 1. I'm a little confused about how the camera interfaces with the RCX. Does the camera just send data to the PC and then the PC sends commands to the RCX via the infrared tower? 2. Do you have to (...) (23 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.robotics.vc)
