[C.CC USERS] Thanks Matt (: arduinobot is aliiive

[Laurence Laycock]

I'd just like to say thanks to Matt for such a good reply to my last email.
It opened my mind to process-oriented programming! :P
It makes a lot more sense now :D sort of (;
I just found the occam-pi resources too which helped :P
I've managed to get quite a bit further with my robot in occam-pi than with
arduino codebase.
Here is my code so far

And here is a quick little video I did (;

I've just started going through the reference (and read the robotics paper)
have a few questions..I'm not going to ask all of them yet lol I should at
least try to find the answers

1. Let's just say I wanted to add aditional layers of competence to my
robot...how far can I go with my arduino? Can I go further with seeeduino
mega? I noticed I was limited to only 2 blinkenlights while running my robot
avoid code...is there a limit to the amount of channels on arduino..or is
the limit parallel processes of is the 'limit' not coded yet?

2. There is part of the supression code I don't know how to deal with...
PROC suppress.int (VAL INT timeout,CHAN INT suppress?, in?, out!)
I know what VAL INT means and why supression needs a timeout...but what does
a CHAN INT suppress? 'listen to'...channel of integers? Is it just the value
within the PROC suppress.int....or not..
Maybe I should come back to it when I've read more of the reference info?

3. There has been many a time when I've wanted to share a channel...how do I
do this? forked processes?

4. Lets say I was interested in doing a uni course on Occam-pi would I need
te be relatively experienced before doing it or is it only for graduates?
Which university of Kent course would you advise if I was interested? I
noticed there was clearing...

all the best

Laurence (:
