TCP/IP Enabled Lego Brick

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the snap-snap-ping dept.

An anonymous reader submits: "Yesterday, Olaf Christ announced that he has the world's first TCP/IP-enabled Lego brick that can be used as a web server. Imagine the possibilities of connecting your collection of Lego Mindstorms to the Internet! He has ported the extremely small uIP TCP/IP stack to the Lego Mindstorms platform. uIP has also been used to run a Commodore 64 as a web server, and is ported to the 8-bit Ataris and laptop keyboard microcontrollers."

    To me the most interesting part of the entire story is how well the C64 webserver is holding up, I have seen much larger servers fail under the /. load.

    AT 5:40 cst (about 30 minutes after story was posted) the site had couted 2002 hits on index page. It is bit slow though need to plug in that mach 5 card :) (if you know what that is then you can call your self a c64 user :))
