Re: data bus

Well Ill share what Ive been working on for a while. what you could do is use the on board TTL serial port to talk with another micro chip( I would suggest a propeller chip from parallax). then set up another serial port on that microchip(ie 2 serial ports on 1 chip)so you dont lose the camera . you could then use the rest of the io pins on the chip to do what ever data you want to do.



and yes I am being coy about this. While I cant say much at this time(its not ready yet) I can say that this is a problem that my team talked about at the end of last year, and think we might have a solution.
