  Data Logging
 
Clearly, Chris and Calum are easily impressed! All I did was to use the RCX with a light sensor and a temp sensor to determine when my hot water heater was in use and for how long. I programmed the RCX to log the sensors once a minute for 24 hours. (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Bruce has been doing some really cool real world data logging experiments. He's too shy to talk about them, but they really are interesting. He's even found a real world use of that temperature sensor everyone has no idea what to use for. (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs...
 
(...) Not quite sure what you mean... Normally, the step is more like a blade with a thickness just over half the diameter of the part to be step-fed. It will have a stroke of whatever the depth of your bin is, and be on a slight angle so that when (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

  Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs...
 
(...) Right, you make the step at least 12 units wide, and since the axles are laying on their side in the bin, they'll... this is confusing to try and describe in words. (...) Yeah, thats what I meant too :) humm (...) What normally happens is then (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
 
  Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs...
 
(...) OH, I see, your thought is to carry the axle vertically? no that cant work cause you have axle length from 2 - 12 units. my thought was to make a step 12 units wide this would carry all lengths up.. humm this would not solve how to deal with (...)

  Re: What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs...
 
(...) I think so, too! The step width has to be slightly over half the diameter of the part being picked up - that's so that any bunching up or clogs fall over the edge leting only one part continue up. (...) Penguins, aww :) I wish MarineLand had (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
