         Re: Lego de-lurks! —Marco C.
     WOW! YEAH! :) Is there a page with an organized Lego pBrick related wish list ? Ok, let's see my wish list: 1) A SuperRCX with *at leat* 6 sensor ports, at least 4 motors, a rechargeable battery through a it's own power port and RF antenas for PC (...)

      (...) Well not much use given the limited accuracy of GPS over a small area. (...) Most of the compass sensors draw too much current. However it should be possible to do something. (...) This is possible. I am having thoughts... (...) this can go (...) (25 years ago, 11-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
     
          Re: Lego de-lurks! —Pink Tail
      Hi ! Increased sensor/motor I/O is a must and do-able. RF would be great, and I don't understand why Cybermaster is RF and the RCX is IR. As far as the sensors are concerned, having been working away on a range of such devices, I am most noticably (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

      (...) Very true, though prices drop sharply with quantity. One sensor I use, is nearly 50$ in 'one off' quantities, but if you but 10000, this drops to under ten dollars. Makes rather a difference to the potential market. It is sometimes difficult (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

      Marco, Many (most? all?) of your wishes can be easily fulfilled with the HandyBoard and its expansion board. It is programmed in Interactive C ... so if you've been using Dave Baum's NQC there is only a very small learning curve, it has more I/O (...) (25 years ago, 12-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

        Cybermaster —Tim Gion
   Any Cybermaster users out there using more than one set? I'm curious as to whether or not one PC transmitter can talk to more than one Cybermaster receiver. I played with the IR of my RCX and didn't get very good range or a wide degree of angles, so (...) (25 years ago, 10-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
