I'm really loving this continuation of the Mindstorms line. I have no issues
with the complete revamp and non-backward compatibility.
Here's a few points that I'm pondering--
Knowing the Mindstorms community throughout the world, if there is a way to make
old sensors/motors/RCX/Scout/Microscouts/etc. work with the new NXT, they'll
find it in under a month and post schematics/instructions/steps/whathaveyou...
:)
From reading the press releases and from viewing the pictures, having multiple
sensors or multi motors on one port thing doesn't look doable, but again, as
above, if there's a way, the community'll find it if there's a way.
I'm already loving the postings here at LUGNET--I'd say 98 to 2 percent in
favour of the new NXT. I think that'll change to around 100 when 'normal' (1)
people get their hands on it.
As a very important additional note--Nicely done to Steve and Ralph--for
everything you did (and will continue to do) on this project! (John and Dave,
too, but I don't know you guys as well)!!
I'm gonna save those pics of you guys!! They're far too 'blackmail' material ;)

| (...) That will depends on how they do their digital fire signal. Given that they are encourging 3rd sensor it's probably very open and not too complex. One serial IR transceiver hooked up to one NXT port should be able to communicate with all RCXs (...) (18 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

| (...) Well I'm wondering, if the motors have RPM sensors, and the RPM sensor feedback isn't done in hardware, there may be a way to split each motor port into 1 (unsensored) motor output and 1 sensor input of some kind. ROSCO (18 years ago, 5-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
