I can't just buy and use any of those, though -- soldering is required. And
though I've made a couple attempts to learn soldering in the past, it's almost
always ended in frustration and fried components.
I'm not opposed to computing current draws or using a screwdriver, but as long
as it requires a soldering iron, I'll probably just made do with RCX instead.
But we've talked about this before, and I understand you're working on that, so
I'll continue to watch. (I don't expect to get serious into robotics for a few
years yet anyway.)
Best,
- Joe
