| + | The VEX Robotics System is a fun little toy you can pick up at radioshack stores or online. I have found this to be the perfect all around robotics platform. It makes things like controlling servos, reading sensors ( analog and digital ), controlling outputs, etc. incredibly easy. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I foresee a robot with a VEX controller running the online code to interface the hardware and a linux computer as the brain. This will keep all the 'thinking' off the controller and allow it to do its real job, controlling hardware.<includeonly> | ||

| + | |||
| + | ==Goals== | ||
| + | ===[[VEX Control Libs]]=== | ||
| + | Create a set of libraries or daemon to facilitate communication between a Vex controller running 'on-line' code and userspace applications (eg: a web based PHP/Ajax application). Over at the VEX forums, [http://www.vexforum.com/showthread.php?t=5191 MarkO and others reverse engineered the Vex Online Code] and have outlined the [[VEX Command Set]]. This is exactly what I needed to bring my ideas to life. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===AC Power Supply=== | ||
| + | Build or modify existing AC adapter to power VEX controller. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===Brainstorm Section=== | ||
| + | *What would be the easiest and most portable language to use to write these libraries? | ||
| + | *Will jvex allow this? | ||
| + | *Are there already open source programs that do this? | ||
