| | | | Just a question about this. Won't the IR airwaves will be a major bottleneck for most parallel applications? -Kekoa (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | Yes Kekoa it's a bottle neck, as I wrote on the original message, the main idea is to distribute the load, with the MINIMUM amount of network traffic. I think that all the RCX should be connected through fibre optics, in order to implement the (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | (...) An interesting idea. Presumably a light sensor alone would suffice, as it could be switched between active/passive mode to turn the LED on/off. You couldn't get high bandwidth, but there wouldn't be interference. Also, this would take multiple (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | | | | Nick, What you propose it's another way, and of course, should work, but we might have to create another software layer over the current operating system of the RCX (of course, legOS), and we would loose 1 sensor per RCX. What I was trying to (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
