Dr. Vegetable's Virtual Remote is a Windows program that emulates the LEGO MindStorms infrared remote control using your existing USB or RS-232 infrared tower. The program presents a set of sixteen function buttons that enable you to easily command one or more RCXes to spin their motors, start or stop programs, or respond to one of three user-defined messages.
This program should run on any Windows 95 or later computer without any additional software installed other than the USB tower driver, if applicable. You must also have the factory firmware (or other firmware that recognizes the LEGO MindStorms RCX Remote) loaded into the RCX before it will respond to commands from the remote control.
