Re: IFI Control System (OI/RC) - The Future???

Instead of Bluetooth look at Zigbee. A high computing power Zigbee module and a few components could replace the whole operator interface and cost allot less. The master proc and separate radio modem could be replaced on the robot controller by a Zigbee module. I've used couple Zigbee parts at work and the results have been very good considering Zigbee is just getting going as a standard.
