I'm sure you've seen the Mindstorm NXT kit. The new tech challenge
platform consists of the mindstorms kit with an additional
motor/sensors/servo multiplexor box that communicates via i2C back
to
the main NXT brick. Raise your hand if you are experienced with
i2c
communication for robotics.
Probably not many people are. I've found that, in the embedded Linux
world in general, only about 1-2% of the developers I've met are
familiar with I2C.
That said, I2C is the simplest bus protocol there is. It was designed
that way for a reason. My advice here is to just go for it.
So big picture time..... Getting player/stage to be able to model
a
specific mindstorm nxt configuration and then being able to use
player/stage to control the that mindstorm nxt configuration via
bluetooth would be...dreamy.
I agree. This is a good goal to shoot for.
