(...) It might be a long shot - but I am gonna ask for more sensor/motor ports and external power in/out lines. I always thought the active sensor thing was over complicated for any custom sensors. Since they pose the "what would you consider (...) (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

OK, I give up. Exactly where on the lugnet site do you get the survey? Ralph (20 years ago, 17-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Well, I had to respond to the survey - how could I not!!! More ports and more sensor choices was my main message. I must say, having built numerous active sensors for RCX, I don't think I'd class the interface as hard to live with. Its cheap - (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I'm thinking something like a hybrid between the GameboyRCX and what we have now.... What if you could use an IR equipped palmPilot (or Clie), or even a PocketPC to talk to a simple micro. Wait, you'd need an IRDA protocol stack on the micro, unless (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I didnt mean bluetooth for sensor connectivity(cables do just fine), I only meant it to replace the existing IR interface for downloading programs. Although intelligent sensor nets (...)

(...) On the software side, don't forget to lobby them to fix the #$@%$! hyperthreading USB tower driver bug!!!!

(...) For most Windows users it is extremely easy to set up Cygwin & brickOS (as well as pbForth and leJOS) using the pre-built installers I created. And who needs a graphical programming environment when you've got BricxCC? :-) John Hansen (URL) (20 years ago, 22-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
