: I like getting to keep the control system... means that we could have 2000 vs 2001 robot demos... that'd be cool...
: i heard the new control system has more computing power... does anyone know if it'll help straighten out some of the calculational errors encountered in the past?

From my e-mail to Eric, the CPU next year will be the SX version of the Basic Stamp, the only difference in the PBasic is that it has commands for reading and writing to the EAPROM, and you can select one of 8 2K programs in the EAPROM, instead of having only default and whatever you have.

This does mean you're stuck with adding constants so your variable will be always positive.

I now have two systems (97 ?), one of which I have cloned to work with all the other First parts. Maybe with two of them running at 50 Mhz, and the resulting 16 PWM outputs, 8 analog inputs and 16 relays outputs, we might get enough controls....
