(...) Error messages go to one of two places. Errors from the compiler default to stderr but can be redirected with the -E option (-Efoo would sent them to a file named "foo"). Other errors (problem communicating with the RCX, illegal command line, (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) My implementation did something similar but used the 3rd motor in the OFF (ie. high resitance to turning) setting during turns to make sure that both the A and B side wheels turned the same amount. This helps to make sure that the skid/steer (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Where an inertial system *might* have some applicability would be to fill in the gaps between sightings of some kind of a navigational landmark. The gradual accumulation of error is the big problem - but if you only need the inertial (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I believe this is correct. actual_length is only used on incoming data because the amount of data supplied may be less than the maximum buffer size (held in transfer_buffer_length). On the transmission side you just use transfer_buffer_length (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Steve, I see your point. I forgot the sensor also responds to gravity. I suspect that the best we can do is a very rough demo of principle, not a practical navigation system. Thanks for your insight! That is what makes this forum so useful. - pete. (...) (24 years ago, 13-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I've seen this kind of problem before. The difficulty is that PC's only have two interrupt lines for the four possible serial ports. Generally, ttyS1 and ttyS3 share a line and ttyS2 and ttyS4 share the other. That means that by default, you (...) (24 years ago, 15-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm organizing a Mindstorms robot competition for BricksWest and it would make it easier, planning wise, to have a rough idea of how many people might be attending. If you think you might go, or better yet, know you will be, could you please let me (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I misspoke. In the BIOS it can be either COM2 or COM4 and it is set to COM4. I saw it listed in the RH6 startup as ttyS03, and misremembered it as COM3. It is COM4, I am using /dev/ttyS03. No go. Thanks for the suggestion, and sorry for the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

As far as I know, any functionality that uses the webcam will not work in version 2.5. As a temporary solution, you could use an external program to capture a webcam image, and then use the image loading VI in RoboLab to work with it. I haven't (...)
