How about using an free-moving arm in a plane parallel to the "floor"? (i.e. - like an analog wall clock placed face-up on a table) If the arm had a some weight and a wheel on one end and a shaft for a fulcrum on the other end, the position of the (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | super cheap tilt sensor?
|
|
I was wondering if anyone knew of any extremely cheap and easy way of making a tilt sensor - that preferably doesn't involve transistors, etc. The best I can come up with are some mercury tilt switches with some resistors - so that a single input (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The 3 buttons marked [1], [2] and [3] send the respective Message() i.e. When pressing button [1] it sends a Message(1) and so forth up to button [3] that sends a Message(3). The [A], [B] and [C] mimic the function possible on the RCX itself, by (...) (23 years ago, 20-May-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The problem I see is that you don't have anything that is regulating the outtake from the motor so you may burn of the thin threads inside. (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I was reading stuff about the Microscout that said it's light sensor would not pick up IR light; however, I decided to try it out for myself.

Thank you, kind sir, for that small but important lesson in C programming. That was the problem. (And, for everyone's information - FEI - Ferrari's book also has Main() capitalized.) Trevyn Watson <4tee2@rogers.com> wrote in (...) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The code on page 107 has "main()" capitalized (i.e., "Main()") and it shouldn't. The error I get is "task 'main' not defined". I'm relatively certain it is a capitalization problem. John Hansen (URL) (23 years ago, 21-May-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
