The "why" is a mid range wireless PC control solution (more than IR, less than cell) that would work from anywhere in a phys ed gym or large conference room or lecture hall... And would be easy to set up... Wouldnt require lan addresses and protocol... And easy to capture with standard xtalk handlers.

Yes, there are a couple of schemes available to pair Tx to Rx, once paired, even transmitters on exactly the same channel should not interfere with your model. > > I have been googling and googling and so far have not found a multi-channel >> Radio Control (RC) receiver with USB port.

I've not seen a solution where you can use your RC Tx to talk to it's Rx which is plugged into the USB port of a computer. Clearly then, the knowledge of how to convert RC digital signals to USB computer signals is available, and to move the pick off point from pre-Rx to post-Rx would only be a small step. The real question is why? Which I guess is why the next screeching tyres you hear will be the boys in the black Surburban ;-) _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
