| | | If they're looking to the future, I would expect it to be a digital bus, much like something my robo-club has been thinking about. It could be I2C or CANN-based, or proprietary (unlikely). Six wires makes sense -- ground, bi-directional signal (2 (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

In the hobby servo, the closed loop is done in the servo electronics, but in the industry servo, the closed loop is done in the controller. (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

In any case, I think my first project will be to figure out how to use the USB port to connect the NXT to a more powerful (...) (19 years ago, 8-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)
