  Admiral Ackbar Instant Minifigure
 
Hello dear fellows! Were you ever in the need of a quick Admiral Ackbar minifigure for a diorama snapshot? I would like to present you an easy and cheap way for constructing a recognizable Admiral Ackbar minifigure. Of course, as always, no saw, (...)

  Mickey's Diner in St Paul MN
 
Hello, A while ago, when I was deeper into my diner phase, I built a diner inspired by Mickey’s in St. Paul, MN. I was inspired to build it by looking at the works of painter John Baeder. (His work also inspired my AlMac’s Diner, which I later found (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.town)  
 
  Re: nxt + i2c sp03 Text-To-Speech?
 
(...) If I'm understanding things correctly, could something like this work? (URL) appears to be able to take 2.5 - 5.5v in and give up to 5v out at up to 90mA. It would be great if it could be powered from the sensor port directly instead of having (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: nxt + i2c sp03 Text-To-Speech?
 
(...) I'd say its worth a try from the 4.3v supply from the NXT. I note that the SP03 spec. says it has a 3v regulator onboard, so its not really running from 5v anyhow. The I2C signals are open drain, so they should be ok unless their inputs won't (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I believe it stands for "Federation Francaise de Football" - it's from a soccer minifig: (URL) Marc Nelson Jr. (URL) Marc's Creations>> (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: Tis The Season-The Gift
 
(...) LOL - very clever! And I really like the Alfred Hitchcock/Twilight Zone-like ending. What does the F.F.F. on his shirt stand for? And this seems to illustrate that some predators can really mutate to help them in the fight for survival by (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
 
  Re: nxt + i2c sp03 Text-To-Speech?
 
(...) It sounds like the NXT probably doesn't have enough power available to run that chip, but you might look at using a BUC (Boost-Up Converter) component to bring the 4.3V supply up to a higher level? I've only been peripherally involved with (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Where Have All the Studs Gone?
 
(...) Here's some irony - Town Jr. is what brought me out of my 3rd Dark Ages all those years ago when it first came out. I bought almost all of them because they were readily available in stores. The race car transporter, the construction vehicle (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
 
  NXT sensor part updates
 
I did some updating of the unofficial NXT sensor parts. The light sensor now has the orange depression that the real sensor has. The sound sensor now has the horizontal holes in the nose that the real sensor has. I did minor mergining of some (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: nxt + i2c sp03 Text-To-Speech?
 
(...) Yes, but unfortunately the 9V sensor supply is limited to 15mA just like the RCX sensor supply. Not easy to power a module that consumes 80mA... Philo (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: LDD Train Station MOC
 
(...) Just got an idea for how to make the front on the AEM7 look even better... more to follow. Don't order anything just yet :-) -Jordan (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: LDD Train Station MOC
 
(...) Paul and Mark, Thanks for your compliments. It looks like the station on Factory is still awaiting moderator approval as of this morning, thus explaining why it is not visible. I should add that, I priced out the station as pictured (without (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
 
  Re: new moc: cantilevered house
 
Fantastic job. When I first saw the exterior shot of the living room window, I started humming the haunting music to Alfred Hitchcock's "North by Northwest". I was somewhat reminded of that night-shot of the outside of the Frank Lloyd Wright house (...) (19 years ago, 5-Dec-06, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)
