Hi All,
I really like the idea of using communicating picaxes to split the logical workload into distinct functions. As an example, a picaxe as an RF comms processor, another as a data collector, another as a user interface processor etc all given directions by a master controller. Each can be configured with a device id and they can communicate with eachother by various methods discussed in this forum.
But they still need to be connected by a common buss. It would be neat if the modules could be stuck together like lego bricks. All that is required is to have a connector with that is a socket on one side and pins on the other side that pass through and solder onto the board. A pin header and socket in one, with pins long enough to pass through the board and mate to the next board.
So next time you are building a robot you just plug together a controller module, a motor driver module, an RF module, a death ray module etc and away you go.
So... anyone know of a suitable connector?
