  New AFOL
 
Hi, I've been lurking on lugnet.robotics for a couple months now, with just a few odd comments here and there. You're probably wondering who the heck I am. Well, I'm a new 40 year old fan of Legos. Although I've been an admirer of legos all my life, (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I've saw that if i change the HOSTADDRESS in the config.h, I then I can't download new program cause legOS programm trasfer use the lnp adressing message .... Anyone have a solution ? I've remark (i think) that legOS don't take message that the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Robot Ant and Data logging
 
(...) Hi Mike, Unfortunately there is no possibility under Robolab 2.5 that the RCX might itself access the data collected in the log. Robolab 2.5 is based on LEGO-firmware 2.0, which has many new features, but not this one. If you want to do your (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Discontinuous motion.
 
I've uploaded a simple detent mechanism which can be used to stop shafts creeping round when they're not supposed to. The only drawback is it can get rather noisy :) (URL) black shape at the top is supposed to represent an official Lego rubber band. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Discontinuous motion.
 
Steve, If the precision is due to the axe slipping while not being driven, you could consider using a pully off a micro-motor. It has a friction slip mechanism at one end, and an axle hole at the other. You could use the axle hole to stablize the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Discontinuous motion.
 
Nice work! Could you potentially use a ratchet mechanism or maybe a step motor set up (with a rubber band) to help with the "coating" problem? Jona ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Baker" <sjbaker1@airmail.net> To: "Kevin L. Clague" (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: RIS parts questions
 
There's an older version of the black pegs that are even tighter. Too tight, in my opinion, so I've set the few that I have aside. You can easily tell the difference- look at a regular black peg. It has short lengthwise ridges on the ends about 2mm (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: RIS parts questions
 
(...) The black ones fit tightly into the holes in various Lego parts - the grey ones are a looser fit and spin freely. Use grey pegs to fit parts that will rotate relative to one another - use black ones otherwise. See this for more details about (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: LEGO's position on third party brick's
 
(...) I believe that the patents on the basic brick/stud technology expired quite a few years ago - so you may just be able to do it. However, there are patents on lots of the *other* Lego components - so beware if you are planning more (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Robot Ant and Data logging
 
HI, I am building a robot ant and using a light sensor to detect lines to follow. However, the algorithm I am using must not be deterministic; i.e. I need to do a sensor sweep and build a graph of the relative light levels at the left, front and (...)

Steve, Here's an "all gear" based solution (minus the chain I used from the drive shaft): (URL) not sure how much gear lash is in the design I came up with, but the thing runs very well (much better than I thought it would). It's been quite some (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi. Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having.

  Re: Discontinuous motion.
 
(...) OH! I see! Very clever. I guess I should explain why I wanted this thing in the first place. All the talk last week about building a Turing machine using Lego - and building primitive mechanical computers in general led me to try to build a (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
