(...) What you describe would work exactly. Normally, the "outer interpreter" of pbForth waits for input using "KEY" - which of course is just a char from the IR. You can make a special word that waits for anything you like... Cheers, Ralph (23 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

Laura, I picked up two rotation sensors and the Vision COmmand as well as a few other kits - just in case. I really wish you would keep this kind of bargain hunting to yourself :-) Cheers, Ralph (23 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) You're pretty much OK until point 4. TCL is used to compile the pseudo code for pbFOrth into assembler source code. From there the GNU as program assembled the object code and ld links it and eventually produces the S records. S records are (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Richard, this is great! What device name does the new tower driver use. I hope to be able to use my Tcl/Tk GUI for this purpose. It would be really great to get USB support for pbForth into the Linux world. The serial port has always been (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) So, according to the Agilent Technologies web site, these sensors are tiny cameras that take 1,500 pictures per second (!) - they claim 400 'clicks' per inch at speeds up to 12 inches per second. That seems pretty good for a robot - there (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(URL) makes the optical mice components and has shipped over 12 million. The link above has some explanation of how they work. It's an interesting idea to see if these could be adapted for robotics. Bruce (23 years ago, 29-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I was wondering: isn't it feasable to use a transistor in stead of a relay? B: What kind do I use? (And how will I regognize it?) Thanks again! Remko (23 years ago, 29-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
