. Jan. - Current Plans - Copied from Email 19. Jan.



Line follower and color sorter I will build and test in part at home and on Fri (testing) - since the school has a color sensor.  
They are using Java.
I will start the assembly line at home and then see. 


----
I am adding to my TODO list to try Legos with C or C++, since ECOS may not be possible. 
(Change: Looks like ECOS will be running soon on LEGO NXT)



Most useful idea from visiting HTL on Friday related to this is for Line follower - Why use just 1 light sensor (other than only 1 comes with kit)  Why not 2 or 3 light sensors?
Seems like it would be good for 1499. May need to use some other sensor instead.  Its a Matura class and they seem like a good group to try out 4DIAC on. They are doing what we did in the TU Lego Robolab class with Lejos at the moment. They will be doing a Lego robot that balances on 2 wheels as part of some matura project.


Prioritized "TODO" list
1. Line follower in 4DIAC
2. LEGO models
3. Other models in 4DIAC
4. Interfaces between 4DIAC and LEGO
Need 1 - originally EOS (Did I leave out a letter?)
Options - (ECOS; C/C++ Legos; Java to FBDK; with Greenfoot simulation; Lego simulator)


End goal: Tutorial 
Related Side item:  Quick installation
Can start after finishing Line follower in 4 DIAC, But want to "beat it to death"  so dont lose the student/ user.
