   My conclusion that the bus is multipurpose stems from the evidence that there is a
speed sensor (optoencoder of some sort?) on the motors. I presume that means that the
motor ports have both output (motor control) and input (sensor feedback). It would seem
like the easiest way would be to make the whole mess of ports identical multipurpose ports.

   But this is all simply hope and speculation until we get some real data. I do feel
confident that with the 4 MUPs offering guidance, we'll like the result.

(...) I do hope so :) As the wired article pointed out, we didn't get everything we asked for. But there are features we did ask for and got. So just as soon as the shackles come off .... JB (18 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
