In theory it would be possible to get the Lego Mindstorms kits to
work with the Amiga. The download mechanism uses an infra red
adapter for the serial port. For the software, take a look at
http://www.enteract.com/~dbaum/nqc
This is the Not Quite C compiler for the Lego Mindstorms
development kits. The C++ source is included and I believe that it
would only need a class for the Amiga's serial port to make it work.
I am not a C++ programmer :()
Does anyone on this list have a Mindstorms kit and want to try
this?
Does anyone think this mindstorms would be good enough for a
Robot Wars entry?
I have seen a working model of an aircraft flight control system
done with it so I guess anything is possible.
Bye,
Ian
