About 20 years ago, there was a Fischertechnik
robotics kit. This
contains the usual blocks, gears, etc, 2 small motors, 3 lamps, an
electromagnet, 8 switches and 2 pots. And no other electonic parts.
There were various interfaces sold for this, at the time they were
very expensive and not suitable for the machines I had. So I did
the obvious thing and boilt my own...
I know we have a similar unit for the Commodore C64. My father bought
it since he had both Fischertechnik stuff and a C64, but I don't
think we ever had the robotics kit you mention. Using the interface
just to switch two or three motors on and off doesn't seem that
interesting, so perhaps he also thought of it more like a general
purpose interface.
Even more stuff to try out some day - wish me a long life...
