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
comms together with IR for inter-RCX's comms *or*
2) A CyberMaster<->RCX proper *comunication* interface, at least one that
could transmit/receive a value other than the light->lightsensor's
on(1)/off(0) values (I know, I know, it's possible to do a soft routine for
serial comunication of >1 values)
3) LEGO Technic 9v Light brick (er... is this already available ?)
4) MORE Sensor's !!! :) (er... a GPS sensor is out of the question ? ehehe)
4.1) Compass Sensor ?
4.2) A compact *small* analogue-like Tilt Sensor (0 to 100% values)
4.3) Compact Ultrasonic range finder
(check John Barnes's http://www.plazaearth.com/usr/gasperi/ultra.htm)
4.4) What about a magnetic sens... HEY!!! THAT'S IT! ...now I have
something for my LegoBot to search (simulating food)! I'll do a magnetic
sensor out of a TouchSensor and a magnet! Yes! (Has anyone done this before ?)
Ok, for Video/Audio "sensor" there's the X10 wireless color Cam thing :)
(well, a smaller 9v Audio/Video Sender would be nice)
phew...

| 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)
