| (...) X and Y positioning of the dispenser and dispenser actuation uses three motors (I think). So moving back from the playboard, might want to be done by just moving the dispenser back from the board area (-Y?) and not the whole player. Any chance (...)

| | | | | something to do...
|
| You know, I just had an idea for an interesting game. The rtl guys are doing yet another lame competition, so I won't be spending the winter working on that, so I was thinking about other interesting things, and I came up with something I think (...)

| | | | | Re: GBC Train crossing, IndyLUG & Chibots
|
| (...) Hmm. A very interesting idea just came up. Given that we want to integrate a GBC into a train layout, I just had a cool idea that we could run a non-GBC train THROUGH the GBC. All I need is a sensor to detect where the other train is (or know (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) Even better, make the transfer sensors and waiting points as far away as possible while still preserving train-non-crashingness. That way we could run it so the two trains are often (always?) headed for the crossing at the same time, but never (...) (19 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | GBC Train crossing
|
| Well, when I started to type this e-mail, I had a question, but I think I've already answered it. I was thinking about our GBC trains. If we don't want to run them on the same loop, maybe we could run them on separate loops that cross over each (...) (19 years ago, 15-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
| | | | | Re: Battery voltage
|
| You know, after the first time I read through the SDK for 2.0, I always wanted to try sending immediate commands from the RCX to another one. that, I suspect, I can do with the standard firmware and NQC (I'll have to try). But to get information (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) There are two places you could have downloaded the BrickOS stuff from. 1) The NQC site, which has everything (like the kernal) pre-built. 2) The BrickOS site, where YOU need to build everything. If you did #1, it may be hard for you to rebuild (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) your right. It is something mainly geared to the rcx gear heads. I'm sure Calum would LOVE IT. we all know how he HATES power cords. (grin) (...) wait.... please explain. are you saying i will need to D/L the BrickOS firmware?? OK. so far so (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

|
| (...) I don't have a problem doing that, however, I suspect very few people will find it useful. First, most people who understand how to use the code, won't have a use for it. (don't need to talk to RCXs with standard firmware) Second, most people (...) (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

| (...) Hi Steve. WoW, this sounds interesting. Will you be making the code available? I'd love to be able to do the same sort of thing, but my programming skills are laking. Thanks. Chris (19 years ago, 8-Sep-05, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
