Hello:


I was thinking about Vlad Dumitresu's goal of tracking robot position with a
mouse. Arjen Gerstel's comment about wireless mice reminded me of a company
called Gyropoint, which makes an inexpensive plastic gyroscope. They have
embedded ;this into a wireless pointing device for computer demonstrations. I
had actually thought about playing with one for industrial robots. This might be
perfect for Vlad's experiment. Check out:

for more info.

(...) Thanks for the tip. Right now, however, $99 seems like quite a lot for me. :-) /Vlad (25 years ago, 12-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
