Hi, Once again i am back about RCX and BT-Connection. Receiving messages from the PC via BT to the RCX is OK. But if I send messages from the RCX to the PC with 4800 Baud i get only 4 Bytes. So I go back to 2400 Baud, forget BT and make a serial (...) (16 years ago, 10-Jun-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Somewhere in the bowels of the header files within the RCX SDK is a list of "IODEVICE control commands" which does include description of messages required to change baud rate on the USB tower.

You should scan for some old posts by either John Barnes or Philo concerning the different "IR transceiver" chips used between RCX 1.0 and 2.0 and between serial vs USB towers. As I recall: Serial tower can only transmit 38 KHz carrier. It's IR (...) (16 years ago, 30-Apr-08, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
