- Here's an interesting question:
-
- I'm thinking of buying a robotic controller card from MIT.
- It's designed to be interfaced through an IBM serial port for code
- transfer to the card memory.
-
- Will PCTask or such handle the transfer okay? (the code that performs
- this is a modified C compiler specifically designed to use some special
- libraries for actuator/sensor control and throughput... there is a
- seperate program that dumps the compiled control code through the serial
- port to the robot.)
-
- Any help appreciated,
-
