(...) The camera position is a compromise between seeing the grabbing mechanism so you can stack blocks on top of one another, and seeing as much of the layout as you can. I do want to set up a secondary cam for an overview, but the software on 1 pc (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The inner ones drive the one set of wheels forward whilst driving the other set of wheels backwards. THe outer buttons just drive the one set of wheels, whilst the other set of wheels remain stationary. I can change the programming. IIRC, (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) This is one sweet WebBot! I haven't had this much fun stacking blocks since yesterday! Very nice job. I like the way the arm works, too, where it lifts a block only if the grippers actually grab a block. Could you post a few pictures of the (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Excellent! (...) This depends on how many trains will be running, but IMO should at least be programmable (ie the ability to use 1, 2 or 3 ports depending on load). Because you can plug LACC[1] boosters into the output, and drive extra motors (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.trains)

(...) I can sketch something for you and email it. Before I do that, though, what's the difference between the two sets of controls on each side? The inner ones rotate it on its axis, but I'm not sure what the outer ones do. (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Guys, Is anyone interested in trying out pbForth with DCC capabilities? I got it working this weekend and I'm going to tune it to use fewer CPU cycles over the next few days. Is there some kind of control functions you'd like to try, like automated (...) (21 years ago, 29-Sep-03, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
