Upgrade IBM Optical Library by Lego Mindstorms NXT

The idea was to simply enhance the IBM Optical Library, so that a failure message (of an unreadable WORM), will automatically be saved (by a webcam) and then committed (by pressing the “Enter” button). In the following video you can see the Lego Mindstorms NXT hitting the “Enter” button after the failure message appears on the left monitor.

Here is the link to the project-post for “Setup IBM3995 Console replacement (OS2 Warp4) | How to copy WORM data to a NFS share

The program which is called by the shell-script on the Debian machine has been compiled and uploaded to the NXT with the NeXTTool.
