| | | (...) Jay, Ok thanks. First of all: Good Job!! I have not read the article but I think the idea is very good. Can you comment a bit on the performances in a scenario in which the PIC would take care of data acquisition from a variety of sensors? (...) (21 years ago, 2-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I believe that Jay's work can boost considerably the capabilities of the spybot. (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I connected the serial port receiver of the PIC to the IR receivers on the Spybot in hopes of detecting my own transmissions for use as a simple proximity detector. It almost works when the Spybot translucent cover (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

|
| | | | | | (...) Jay, I think that both the Spybot and the RCX kits (PCB + parts) would make sense. There is a large community of Spybot owners here that would be just happy to buy the kit and I believe even a larger one for the RCX. We can run a poll to (...)

| | | | (...) Performance is an interesting question. For the article example where I used a Devantech SRF04 Sonar and a Sharp GP2D12 IR Rangefinder, the performance is limited by the senors. The SRF04 has a minimum cycle time of at least 10ms (this is the (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
