Correct. The current TA+NXT is based on the nxt_python library, which works "tethered", so the NXT controller acts as a dumb slave of the XO. For TA I think it's ok to start like this. Our intention is to - add some nxt_python examples to Pippy :-) - add nxb, and maybe a Pippy-like NXC editor -- these create programs that run on the NXT CPU, so you can do "unplugged" That's already a ton of work to get right! After we achieve all that, we can try the (harder) steps to get TA programming the NXT in "unplugged" mode - teach nxt_python to export NXC code... might be hard - teach Emiliano's code to export NXC code, seems easier TBH, I really like NXC, it's _addictive_ :-) m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
