The following is a WinZipped Visual C++ 5.0 project that implements a windows-based communication interface for the Nomad Scout robot. This is a windows interface-- there is no main(), but the part you need to look at is called RobotMain() and is located in robot.c. Simply unzip this code on your Windows 95 or Windows NT machine, connect up your Nomad Scout to serial port 1, and run the code. Examples meant for pattern matching are provided in robot.c
