what if I wanted to control ten of those cheap dynamixel copies.(16A) and hook them all up in a serial fashion. Would I have enough serial ports on the EZB-4? I would have to assign an ID. The way they are setup, it looks like I could control them off of a single serial port. Suggestions?

Has Anyone Used Pir For Navigation? Do You Think That Is

Has anyone used PIR for Navigation? do you think that is even possible. It detects movement from about 30 away and turns on an on/off switch. Any ideas on that? Thanks, Mel (MovieMaker) Someone had made a while back a robot that supposedly followed the source of the movement with PIRs.
