(...) With much respect, I would suggest that CRC8 is probably not sufficient, especially if we go for a broadcast (Ethernet) solution, where lots of collisions, and hence errors, will probably occur - with CRC8 you will probably miss about 1 in 256 (...)

| | Re: mouse-click bug in mindstorms software?
|
|
My response would be to drop the mindstorm software. I hated it cause those red blocks won't let me put 2 in a program unless I use command blocks and even then it ticked me off. Also I would do NQC, GPB, or VB instead, far better than the mindstorm (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | another Lego clone
|

I recently found a Lego-clone (not a very good one) at a discount store. The pieces include bricks, 1/2-height plates, and a few wheels and medium-slope roof pieces, in about 10 different colors. They are slightly larger than regular Lego bricks -- (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, lugnet.market.auction)

(...) If you think some of the parts need more work, you should look at them yourself. Some things you can do are: 1. If you use LDAO, load the part-file into the LDAO Editor, turn on the Stop-At-Cursor option, and step through the file. 2. View the (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Josh, While I build mainly in the Town System, I have to agree with you on one thing. That is some of the new colors are nicely muted. I especially like the tan color. It is a much more sympathetic color to build in than the bright ones. Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jul-99, to lugnet.dear-lego)
