(...) 0.055 inch would be correct. It never crossed my mind that 0.5 = 1/2. I don't use my calipers often enough to correctly interpret its output every time I do. Lesson learned: Double, uh, no, triple-check the readout (and make shure I'm (...) (17 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) Scott, I'm sorry; That can't be right. More than half an inch? Did you mean 0.055 inch? I'm talking about the thickness of a baseplate, the area without the studs, the distance a block would be above my desk if the block were sitting on a (...) (17 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) Dick Swan's replacement RCX firmware also does not support directly manipulating the IR led and it doesn't support microsecond timing control. Both of these features would be required in order to send the IR messages to a Power Function or R/C (...) (17 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

(...) Baseplates are exactly the right thickness, such that if they are resting on studs, their studs are exactly 1 plate higher. So I guess that makes them 1 plate minus the height of a stud 8?) ROSCO (17 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.general)

Hi all, I have this hankering to know the thickness of a baseplate. Not a regular plate, but a baseplate. I found the FAQ page with dimensions of bricks and plates and studs ( www.lugnet.com/~330/...dimensions ) but cannot seem to find out how thick (...) (17 years ago, 4-Feb-08, to lugnet.general)

(...) I doubt that's possible - a bytecode program just can't run fast enough to do the timing for the IR commands, on either brick. The NXT can only manage it because it sends them over a slow comms link to a HiTechnic IRLink sensor, then that (...)
