I have a MAX. I want to use it as a robotic platform ie, as a base for use as a vision-based robot. Before that can happen, I have to be able to control its motion, face expression (the strong point of MAX) and the hand and head movements. Hence my interest in how the meccabrain protocol works for these new devices. I am looking forward to your analysis of the communication protocol for these devices. I may borrow a Xprotolab scope to do some analysis of my own during the weekend
