This program is based on software found in the SDK2.0 by Lego.
Extra functions make it easier to use this as an editor for LASM as well as Mindscript programs.
Also you can initiate some functions directly using the buttons.
If you study the listing of this program it should be possible (together with the 'vpb.hlp' help-file), to make your own programs in VB to control the RCX2.0.
Because of the time needed to communicate, it can be an advantage to send and recieve only one variable each cycle, which is interpreted in a program in the RCX.
I have 2 examples, where I use Joystick steering, with 2 commands each cycle the respons time on changes in joystick position is about 1 second (to long) the other (with only 2 commands each cycle is about 0.3 s.
For using immediate commands (and optimal code) as used when sending commands directly from VB, programming in LASM is better.
When making large programs working in the RCX 'Mindscript' is easier.
