rcx and labview

[Crystalo]

Hello! I want to program the Lego RCX brick via LabView! I've achieved that by using "robolab for labview". Could I avoid Robolab, because it seems to be adding 2 to 5 seconds of random delay before the RCX executes motor commands. Will it work if I run a vi that sends the RCX's opcodes through the serial port or is it much more complicated than that? I'm guessing it all comes down to driver programming,right?

Thank you in advance

Crystalo,

Programs made in Robolab for LabVIEW are compiled and uploaded to the RCX brick.  The brick itself contains a microcontroller that executes these programs.  

It may be possible to send codes straight over LabVIEW, but you wouldn't be able to create a brick to run untethered if you don't compile the VI and deploy it.  If this is not an issue and you can find the codes to send to the RCX it is worth a try.
