In the real world, you can't always make it bigger and better, sometimes you have to do it another way. It's a much more interesting problem to "do it with only three inputs" that to just "throw a multiplexer on it". (IMHO of course :-) -- Brett Carver brett_carver@agilent.com (707) 577-4344

(...) [imho] It's sometime very creative to build your own multiplexer as it is a part of the project. [/imho] The site of Michael Gasperi has a lot of informations about those input multiplexer : (URL) (24 years ago, 9-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

		RE: Expanding the available input/output ports of the RCX
Sure you can try using just three input/output ports, but eventually you end up scaling back you designs. Of course, you can always buy another RCX to increase the number of ports, which will throw you back $200. Adding a multiplexor is such an easy (...)

		Expanding the available input/output ports of the RCX
Hi, With only 3 input and 3 output ports, the RCX becomes quite limiting after a while. There are several different solutions to this at various sites. Does anyone know which one is the best out of all of them. I basically looking for good (...) (24 years ago, 7-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
