| Welcome Matthew! Unfortunately, I don't know what the Pitsco software is like. But, as a fellow Mac user, I'd love to find out! Ben On Tue, 10 Apr 2001 17:41:22 -0600, Matthew Gerber wrote (in message <GBLoGy.Azp@lugnet.com>): (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.dacta)

| TRU-FLATE tire pressure guages are made by Stant. If you search the Web for "Tru-Flate" you will find several stores that sell them. I have been using a digital tire guage (like the one originally suggested on Soh Chio's site) up until now to (...)

It came courtesy of John Barnes together with the pressure sensor. The inlet has been (...) (24 years ago, 11-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

BTW I was just browsing your website (really great site BTW) and had a question...do you know what type of (...)

| Greetings all, I've ordered LEGO Designer from Pitsco, and was wondering if any of you have used it. Is it similar to LDraw, or am I just getting the old LEGO CAD in a new package? Basically, do I opn the package when it gets here, or just send it (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.dacta)

| (...) Thanks, Jen. I'll have a go at it. (...) Well, I was just thinking to what extent you could take the pressure sensor device. Actually, most of my own creations don't use the RCX. And they're mostly powered by the manually operated hand pump. (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

| With all this talk of pneumatics going on, I feel I must inform you that all my current and pending creations hardly use pneumatics at all, I've binned them in favour of something more suited to my needs. I'd love to tell you but you'll have to wait (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)

| (...) Nice work as ever! One type of pump I've not seen you test yet is a varation of Michael Powell's using an 8 tooth gear onto 40 tooth gear reduction rather than the belt drive, as this seems to improve performance significantly. How about a (...) (24 years ago, 10-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.dacta)
