(...) This is really cool. It's great to see what everyone's done with a really simple idea. Very nice. Steve (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
 
  Re: YAL, Yet Another LegWay
 
Oooh! I know what I'll be building this weekend! Incredible well done, Steve showed the path and you guys walked it :) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: YAL, Yet Another LegWay
 
(...) Very nice, Philo. Looks very stable. I guess the next job is to get it to respond to the LEGO remote ;) You could even implement forwards/backwards by having the remote shift a weight on the LegWay!! ROSCO (20 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
 
  Re: YAL, Yet Another LegWay
 
(...) I built one of these yesterday, and it works surprisingly well! I like the very simple design. Like Steve H's original LegWay, it requires very few parts. Although it is a little tricky to put it together. I found that the performance of the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
 
  Re: YAL, Yet Another LegWay
 
(...) Hey Philo, I was just looking over your code, and I think if you change this line: pid = (Kd * errdiff + Kp * err + Ki * errint) /3000l; to something like this: pid = (Kd * errdiff + Kp * err + Ki * errint) /3000l + ForwardOffset; then when (...)

  Re: Re[2]: YAL, Yet Another LegWay
 
(...) Hi Steve and Allen, I already tried what you suggested, but I had only mixed results: either too little moves or unstable and uncontrolable ones. Perhaps also my PID coefficients, determined by trial and error, are not so good... I'd like to (...) (20 years ago, 10-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics)

  [Q] Remote control code ?
 
Hi Philo,Steve and Allen. I've made a YAL right after reading the articles of you all. It's great and very fun. After tuning some papameters, it is working so well. My Lego has been in a dark corner of my room so long time. New BrickCC/BrickOS help (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: [Q] Remote control code ?
 
I'm lazy . . . would someone please write a version of the program that works with the LEGO remote control? Using the remote control is cooler than driving it with a flashlight. And with a flashlight you can't make it turn. (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
 
  Re: [Q] Remote control code ?
 
(...) Okay, I tried writing it anyway. It doesn't work, and I think it's because I'm not changing the motor speeds. All I'm doing is changing motor directions. Help me out, please, since I spent the time to install BrickOS in BricxCC and learn the (...) (20 years ago, 31-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
