This is my video submission for the Microsoft Dare to Dream Different contest (http://dreamdifferentcontest.com). The contest required entrants to build an embedded application using the new .Net Micro framework which allows C# programming on a resource constrained platform. The entry needed to use a prototyping board with touch screen provided Microsoft. My entry was a touchscreen driven programming & execution environment called Brickstick that allows Lego I\O to be connected to the prototyping board and programed and run controlled without the use of a PC. All programming and execution is done through the touch screen. This makes it easy to build remote controlled robot with sophisticated features, without the complexity of a complex programming environment. My entry used a number of complex I/O types utilising the I2C bus such as the NXTCam, NXTServo and PFMate, all designed and built by Mindsensors. Its also used some other interesting I/O types such as the BlinkM and an LED array. Unfortunately the sound quality is not very good as I needed to use a Bluetooth wireless headset to record the sound when my PC card failed. Towards the end of the video you can see a robot I built called the Mighty Digger which shows off Brickstick in its best light. Many thanks to Mindsensors for their support in getting the sensors up and running on this non-conventional platform. (less info)
