mmmmm zigbee... that would be GREAT! no more drop outs, crushed flower pots, trashcans, or dented walls!
Don't think i want USB or FireWire for programming... i have this thing against networks getting in the way of me loading code... plus it would be a ton of overhead for the processor to run the USB stack. A dsPIC would be SWEEEET though... I just hope they keep C!
An updated OI with oLED matrix display (like those new osram
pictiva ones, got the 3" screen demo kit, full color graphic display screen) for more readouts on the screen and the ability to make graphical outputs would be sweet...
Maybe moving all of the pwm outs up to 16 bits might be cool too... I did that on our robot this year and LOVED the results... not only do you get a ton more resolution but you also get to use all integer math for integrators n stuff since your numeric range is so huge...
I'd also like to see a higher chop rate speed controller, like 2KHz chop rate as opposed to the 120hz now so the first robots lose the angry buzzing.
I feel like i'm writing a christmas list...
