Brainstem and Stamp BS2SX

Archiver

Anyone have any ideas on combining BS2SX with the
(Acroname)Brainstem system? I have a robotics project and would like
to stick with BS2 and BS2SXs but one of the high school kids I'll be
working with thought the Brainstem looked like a good robot
controller. I promised to give it some thought and would like to know
if anyone has some insight that would help me decide. ( I already have
some issues with the Brainstem documentation but want to be fair.)

Thanks

I know that Acroname has done it -- you might want to check their web
site for examples.

OK Jon,
I guess I asked the wrong question. I suppose I should have asked if
there would be any BENEFIT from using a brainstem and not just a pure
stamp enviornment. Just from the little documentation I have seen on
the brainstem, I can tell that there are several ways in which to
communicate with it so I'm certain I can get them to talk. However,
the brainstem is actually slower at ~ 9000 instructions per second
then the BS2SX. As far as I can see, there's not much to recommend it
other than it's modular add-ons.
I think I've talked myself out of it and will just go Stamp.

Thanks


Steve
