Re: Linux-Powered Robots and Flexible Programming
TCP/IP (actually, we switched to UNIX named pipes for latency improvements) is for connecting coprocessor modules to the coprocessor serial communicator. Basically, a way so that the community can make prepackaged software modules in the language of their choice, and have it run out-of-the-box for other teams.
We don't use any fancy protocols across the serial line due to severe processing limitations of the PIC18.
