Gabriel, please do keep working on this!  It's exactly the sort of thing I've
been looking for for years.  I get frustrated with the high cost and hard limits
of the RCX; it sounds like your units would be far superior in terms of entry
cost and flexibility.

I can imagine other slave units for things like an LCD display output, a keypad
input ("sensor"), and custom sensors like ultrasonic range finder, electronic
compass, etc.

Incidantally, I haven't managed to see your web site about it yet -- when I
tried, you had already exceeded your bandwidth quota!  That should give you some
idea of the interest among the ALE community in your project.  I have extra
space on my site, if you'd like, perhaps we can consider hosting your project
notes there.

Best,
- Joe

Danny & all, This was a prototype that I have built with regular parts. If there will be demand, I will make and order PCBs. The total cost of the parts is around $30. Add $10 for labor (and that is verry modest) and you'll get the price. The size (...) (21 years ago, 1-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics)
