Sorry, I have been out of the loop for quite some time now on the protocol.
Next time will someone smack me when I voluntarily take a compiler theory
course on top of 3 other computer sciences courses. I had no life for over
a month.
I am currently working with a few other students and possible a professor to
possibly set up an independent study project this summer dealing with
aspects of LegOS and LNP. As things progress and final approval is made I
will post more to the list. There is a professor here that is really
interested in using legOS as the basic firmware in the Mindsorms and
offering a regular course on robotics using this environment. He offered
such a class this last quarter using the standard RCX firmware and we found
it to be horribly inefficient and limited.
For my two cents on the subject of slotted vs. non-slotted protocols I will
vote for non-slotted. I vote this solely on the basis that I think it will
have less overhead than the slotted protocol. The biggest problem with
slotted that I see is that the RCX moves in and out of range from each other
a lot and others leaving and entering the group all the time will cause a
loss of efficiency in the protocol. More time will be spent syncing and
rescheduling RCXs as the enter and leave the group.
I will have to go look into the Aloha protocol. I have had a few other
people mention it to me. This summer I will have plenty of time to work
more actively on the production of this protocol. I would hope to have
something ready for next fall.
