[...] Chips like the 8052 are dead and replaced with PIC(s?) and mini-controlers. New stuff is out like electronic compasses and GPS.
Question is where can I get a book that brings me up to date with where the hobby is in 2010? I need descriptions on this new serial standard, what PICs are, practical circuits for using GPS, compasses, etc.
Do any BASIC or Axon talk to a PC any other way? What about USB or Blue tooth?
Regarding the GPS video, if these units are only good to about 30', forget it. What good is that? Is anyone using GPS to "find home"?
At least there is one good thing about my old robot, it has a voice using the RS chips. Haven't seen voice on any "new" robot. 8-)
