GUMBRIX: GUMSTIX LEGO CONTROLLER

Derek Anderson enjoys building robot prototypes utilizing the LEGO Mindstorms kit, however he discovered his development hampered by the RCX’s very little processing power as well as connections. He made a decision to develop a custom-made LEGO style housing for a Gumstix waysmall computer. He has experience milling custom-made LEGO parts so this was an simple very first step; he does desire he would have utilized a material a lot more stiff than Delrin though. Derek has a number of future articles organized to cover exactly how to integrate as well as interact with the system. I’d like to wait on the new Mindstorms NXT coming out in August or March if I’m lucky.
