| RCX.OPEN | |
| Syntax | RCX.OPEN port (RCX.OPEN port "FALSE) |
| Explanation | The RCX.OPEN command opens the specified
port and establishes the communication channel between
Logo and the RCX robot controller. Its output is TRUE if
the communications channel to the RCX was initialized;
otherwise it is FALSE. Make sure that the RCX is
turned on and positioned near the Infrared transmitter.
As soon as the communication channel has been
established, all RCX commands are enabled. Port value can be "USB for the USB port, 1 for serial port # 1 and 2 for serial port # 2. If you supply FALSE as a second, optional input, the
range of the Infrared transmitter is set to Near;
otherwise, the range is set to Far. This command causes the sliders and buttons which
simulate sensor input on the RCX panel to become dimmed
and non-functional. See also RCX.CLOSE. |
