I really like this, and may give it a go. Please make it available somewhere...
I take it the -s lists the BT devices in terms of addresses that can
be used with the -a command?
If you need somewhere to host the download while you get your gear
together (and this goes for all and *any* Lego people needing to host
Robotics or Technic content, like images blogs and articles) register
on orionrobots.co.uk, let me know and I will sort it out. I only ask
that any "hotlinking" to images or downloads also have an
accreditation link back to orionrobots.
Cheers,
Danny
