| | | | Andy, This won't happen if the Device_ID to Device_Friendly_Name mapping is as generic as "motor1", "motor2", "light1", "lightsensor1", "irdar1", "rotationsensor1", "rotationsensor2" and so on... Then, the *specific* Device_Friendly_Name to (...) (22 years ago, 4-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Marco, Yes, I agree that logical mappings will help the problem. But consider this example: You have motors with the friendly names of motor1.. motor20 You write a program and specify the associations: left arm = motor1, right=motor2, etc. I believe (...)

| | | | | (...) Yes, you're right. :) The alternative would be to tweak the Device_ID/Friendly_Device_Name table in real-time, updating the new Device_ID. Then, the compile-time table with the Friendly_Device_Name...cific_Name would still valid. (...) Seconds (...) (22 years ago, 11-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics)
