Re: TI-H: Advanced Link port
Does this hook up directly on the bus? Is is parallel data? If so, what is
keeping us from using an advanced addressing system to have 256 data inputs,
and 256 data outputs? Then, with enough ASM, enough memory, and enough time
:) we could build a calculator-controlled robot! Save $300 or so bucks on
an onboard computer! Have mainly hardware control, but let the calculator
control movement. You could even have a hardware-based voice recognition
system, using a comparator, some kind of voice library, and then input it
into the calc. The calc could then in turn say, "Since he said go left, I
should turn this motor x% to the right, and turn these motors on". Or
something like that. I've been working on a robot ever since I got this
really cool book. I was going to put a computer on it, but this would be
much simpler and cheaper. I also didn't want to spend money on C++ and
training books (which I would never read). Who says calculators are just
for math!
