end of day one: captains log; I now have a simple Cartesian robot, that can move in an X and Y direction. I spent more time on the "test" code than anything else. As of now, I have the Y axis hunting back and forth between 7 spots. I could not use (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I make bad assumptions at times--if the 9v adapter works for my current 1.0 RCX, and the 9v adapter works for my LEGO 9v DC motors, I assumed that the adapter was 9v DC. As such, I should just be able to use that 9v adapter for my 1.5 and 2.0. (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
