That's how I'm was going to controlling my new robot science fair
project (when it's built). Because it may not be that easy to have both
sesnsors and communications (with the controller unit) - at least I'm
not capable of making the calc do that - I'm using solenoids to relay
sensor messages to the keypad and the screen (several light/dark
detectors hooked up to the at different parts, so that when one part
darkens, a detector is set off) to control the robot. That way the link
port can be used to communicate with a handheld controller (another
calc.) that can display the info on screen, and send instuctions to the
calc.
But now that the RAM Extender is almost complete, I think it may be a
whole lot easier to build any device that's supposed to be controlled by
an onboard computer...
This brings me to my question. Is it possible to use an I/O port off the
RAM Extender to control another TI (or other TIs)?
