    Re: Brainstorms —Elijah Meeker
   I'd really love to have the time to do this right, with links to all the neat articles I have been finding for lunch time reading, and to be up todate on the technology involved. But I will be lucky if I can get this written befoe I am required to (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        RE: Brainstorms —Bruce Powell
     Elijah has IMHO a nice starting point for a series of modules for Robotics. My extensions, would be based upon a common addressing system ala Dalas Semi 1 wire. This allows for simple stacking of 1wire devices. Compiler/Interpreter keeping track of (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: Brainstorms —Steve Baker
      (...) Ooh - I'd forgotten the Dallas Semiconducter 1-wire interface - that would work out really well. Do Dallas still make a bunch of interesting devices for that standard? (...) I2C has ROM and RAM devices that plug right into the I2C bus. I think (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: Brainstorms —Steve Baker
     I2C devices are *tiny* because they don't need many pins. If you look at the CPU chip inside the RCX, it's 4cm long and 2cm wide - that's because it has thirty-some I/O pins on it. An I2C device typically needs two pins for power and ground, a (...) (22 years ago, 9-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)
    
         SV: Brainstorms —Henrik Lind
     There is a description including PCB and parts list of how to make an RCX to I2C interface in the Elector Electronics magazine No. 309,APRIL 2002: (URL) overview: I2C Interface for Lego RCX 'Brick' (Parts List) It has, by now, become well known that (...)

         i2c protocol with the rcx (was Brainstorms) —Ralf Krause
     Hi, I tested the RCX-to-I2C-board from Elector Electronics. I think it's very good for educating and experimenting where the user learns very much about the protocol and function of the i2c bus. (...) Yes, it's right .... you can use the RCX to (...) (22 years ago, 31-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics)

    and (...) Now that I think about it, in order to raise the signal to noise in the message queue, the sensors should have 3 modes: Listen to the message queue (default) Listen and notify on change Listen and notify on clock Okay that's all I can (...)
