Well it looks like dinner is on it's regular schedule. Unfortunately this means I'm going to miss it. I'll be driving through Enfield about that time.

I don't recall with NQC, but with some languages (BrickOS) the values are backwards, so you may need to check (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

First off, this competition sounds like some good, mindless fun! So I started building a drag racer over the weekend and have a few thoughts. Starting: I am wondering about starting methods. How are we going to ensure the drag racers start at the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I finally opened one of the two 4496's I bought. (I know Derek bought like a skid of them.) It's a nice collection: More 2xN than 4107. Closer to the famed 3033. Lots of slopes. Some plates. A bit of grey, DGreen, LimeGreen, orange, LBlue etc... (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, actually, that code works fine (running MacNQC, a fairly recent version, with 2.0 firmware). One thing to check, code-wise, is to display SENSOR_1 on the LCD, and see what the numbers are (is it set to raw mode? Is the sensor bad (I've (...)

Hey all, I know I must be doing something very simple wrong here - but I can't for the life of me figure it out. What I'm trying to do: Have a light sensor pointed at a surface.
