[Klug-general] Digibury next session

[Kevin Groves]

I'm still going and taking along my robot which sort of works. I'm 
considering a redesign but not sure when I will get chance to work on that.

At the moment trying to redesign its control by removing all of decision 
making away from the Ardunio and instead use a Palm device which has 
more memory and a faster processor. The Ardunio will just be motor 
control and sensor reporting. Should be easy to do in practice as both 
devices have serial IO. The problem I have to get around is that the 
prc-gcc compiler project has not been active since 2003 so getting an 
old gcc compiler source and patched for prc is going to get messy. Not 
impossible. I would prefer native C on the Palm just for the speed. As a 
temp solution just to prove the comms idea works I am looking for a 
quicker solution in a JVM on the Palm. OK its going to slow things right 
down, but if its still faster than before (my multitasking code on the 
Ardunio is not able to slice quick enough) then its still worth while.
