Felix,

First of all, thanks for the translation...

The method Rufus has illuminated is, unfortunately, the only numerical method of getting info to the drivers that I know of. However...

If you were to mount a servo on the robot with an indicator pointer large enough to be seen by the drivers...

Actually, my team has used this method for digital information (ie: the claw is locked onto the bar, et cetera) when the drivers were unable to take their eyes off of the "action".

If however you do not need the data in real time, search for the term "EEPROM" in these fori archives...

Good luck,

Mike
