RIS 2.0 Web RCX Control

Post by Gort »

My name is Steve and I live in Arizona. I have been trying for some weeks now to find a way to control a RIS 2.0 RCX over the web. Unfortunately I have come to a dead end because only RIS 1.0 (serial) was used as a platform for remote web control development

Michael Brownjohn ( http://ds.arqz.com ) seems to be the only one who is currently working on this project.

Can anyone here advise me?

Thanks - Steve ...

I've done this before. A few years back. You don't actually need any custom software to do it.

I've done it on linux and windows.

The best way I had was to use php and nqc.

Then I'd have php send message codes like so:

system ("nqc -msg 1", $return);

Look up the system function on php.net

Anything you can do with nqc you can do this way.
Good luck
