    Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Danny Staple
   (...) 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)
   
        RE: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Ralph Hempel
     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)

        Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —John Barnes
     (...) 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)
    
         RE: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Ralph Hempel
      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)
    
         Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Danny Staple
     (...) Umm - I think you guys got the wrong end of the stick there. 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 (...)

     OK, I give up. Exactly where on the LEGO site do you get the survey? Ralph (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

     (...) Go to (URL) the lower left part of the page there's a picture of a cute bug-like robot with a comic strip bubble over him saying "Yes! Click here to start your LEGO MINDSTORMS survey now." Or here's the direct link... (URL) D. (20 years ago, 18-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)  
   
        Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Tony von Ruden
   (...) On the software side, don't forget to lobby them to fix the #$@%$! hyperthreading USB tower driver bug!!!! I'd also love to see real C/C++ programming support out of the box -- setting up Cygwin and brickOS is just too hard for most people. If (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —John Hansen
     (...) 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)
    
         Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —Tony von Ruden
     (...) miss them? Wonderful! Are there hints anywhere for setting up the compiler tab options? I got the C++ to work, but not leJOS. (I do have leJOS working fine using JCreator Pro). Thanks! tonyv (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
   
        Re: New TLC Mindstorms survey —James Isom
   (...) They should release a graphical programming environment but it should tie together with a real programming language like C, C++ or Java. I would love to see a flow chart on one side of the window with corresponding code on the other. This (...) (20 years ago, 23-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
