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 comunication. I think that the idea of Mark, is suitable,
to implement a master/slave model.

For now suppose that the speed is not a critical factor. I'd like to read
more of your comments, due to the fact that your page was the first one I
visited when I attempted to understand the RCX protocol, and I did.

Just a question about this.  Won't the IR airwaves will be a major
bottleneck for most parallel applications?

(...) 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 (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
