Wow, Someone who knows about this!!!

First off, do you have any clue on how to access the IR port from a embedded
VC++?

I know how to program in C++, and VisualBasic, but how does VisualC++ work?

I've never dealt with VC++, or any type of hardware access. How do I go
about doing this?

How does one compile programs for a Pocket PC 2002?

How would I find the specifications for the IR circuitry to build
a program that communicates with the RCX?

I have an iPAQ 3670 and use the following software with the iPAQ.

There is no way to use the built in IR port. You have to use the serial
tower and a nulmodem cable.

It works great however, you can even download firmware!

Dean

That's not true...

I was not referring to just simple commands. You can use some learning
remotes for that.

I'm talking about NQC support.

I've controlled my RCX, Scout, and Spybotic with my iPAQ 3635 through the
IrDA port.  I used a demo version of "TV Remote Controller v3.0" from
http://www.pdawin.com.

I think those programs use the 3-wire mode of IrDA.  More info here:
http://www.irda.org/standards/pubs/ircomm10.pdf

An RS-232 port with an IR LED and phototranistor should be able to • simulate
a 38KHz modulated 2400bps signal by sending three bytes of 0x55 @
76800-7-N-1 (if I figured everything correctly).

Hmmm... could the iPaq serial port be set to 76800-7-N-1 and could a • simple
2x4 brick with an IR LED and phototransistor be used rather than the bulky
serial tower?

I'd still rather use the IrDA port, but something smaller than the IR • tower
would be a good start.

PS - I cross-posted this response because it touches Spybotics and • Robotics
with respect to communication methods.
