Kyle (...) Very true. (...) CAN bus? I2C bus? But that would require a third wire for power. They could be connected with miniature stereo jacks. (...) Sure. (...) Hmmm. I don't see how. The data rates for pictures are too high and would swamp the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) While did take some EE courses in college I don't claim to have enough background in that area to comment on which bus could be used. I made that statement mainly based on my suspicion that something like DCC could be made to work. 2 Wires (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

I think an ability to retain as much "Lego" infrastructure as possible is to be desired. Mixing and matching alien non Lego wires and connectors starts to depart the basic simplicity of polarity independence and Lego mechical compatibility which I (...) (22 years ago, 3-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I aggree which is why I hoped someone could figure out a way to reuse the 2x2 brick connector, and the 2 wire scheme. If it needed to be more wires (and LEGO was doing it) I suppose they could make a 4 wire keyed connector that onely went on (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, you could - but use two sets of wires - one for power, the other for data. The problem is that what's a clever idea for connecting motors (rotate the connector 180 degrees to reverse the polarity) is a disaster for data connections (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)
