With all of the talk about RS232 converters, and PWM decoders, why not buy a
single board computer and do everything from your PC?
----- End of forwarded message from Ralph Hempel -----
That's easy, you don't have to write software for anything other than the
RCX and such a convertor would only cost about $25 to $30 a copy.

| (...) Hmmm, the RCX tower is a pretty effective RS232 converter...and you will still need to write special software for the RS232 convertor's interface to the PC. Like I said, its cheaper and quicker to buy a second RCX from Pitsco... Cheers, Ralph (...) (25 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
