REPOST: Some Surelink Questions

Archiver

Hi All,

I am thinking of using the Surelink modules for the hydrogen powered robot,
and I have a few questions. Firstly, are these goals reasonable:

Real time robot control (i.e. RC mode)
Streaming operational and experimental data
Still images

The idea would be to have a Surelink module on the robot, and build a base
station with another connected to a laptop via another Stamp. We are using a
2p40 for the robot, and can use a 2p24 for the base station. This would
allow the students to operate the robot out of sight, and do some cool room
mapping and exploration projects, among other things. Being able to send
data about fuel cell operation would be nifty too.

In the case of still images, how would/could that be accomplished?

While there are demo boards for the Surelink, I assume you can just use a
Stamp at either end. Is this correct? I looked around on the Parallax site
for a N&V column or application type information, and came up empty-handed.
Did I miss it?

Thanks,

Jonathan
