But then I read the datasheet, and they are much more versatile than I realised. 8 A/D channels, 8 digital pins, 600 mw ("Pro" version) or 200 mw (the "Pro+") and b/w upto 250 Kb. Yes, they're pretty small -- not much bigger than their DIP plug/socket. I was using these (some kind of “Pro” version) with the Surveyor bot and they were pretty good as far as 100 Kb comms go.
