(...) Two. Input port #4 fills up pretty quick. Should give a nice performance boost over BT though. (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi Ross, (...) it should be possible to use RS-485 as a bus, i.e. connect several NXTs with one cable. You need to make the cable yourself, though, and you may need some termination on the ends. Jürgen (17 years ago, 4-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Hi all, the physical connection of NXTs via RS485 is just the first half of the solution... Remeber, at 2-wire RS485 you can have one master only and up to 31 slaves. To address each slave, you need to implement a special protocol which (...) (17 years ago, 5-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I posted a zip to the NXC samples page containing a pair of programs that show how to send a message from one NXT to another over a wire connected between port 4 on both NXTs. (URL) Hansen (17 years ago, 7-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
