  Question, opinion, help - Claw Hands
 
Folks, I'm in a bit of a quandry. Traditionally I don't like "Claw Hands" meaning the kind you see on a Submersable Sub or better know as Pinchers or Grabers. My problem: I'm making a Mid-Sized Technic Fig Scale Robotic Mecha. (4ft.tall biped) I (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: anyone know how to check free space on RCX?
 
(...) According to config/h8300/h8300.h in the gcc sources, int is 32bit for the h8 cross compiler. I believe the reason mm_free_mem() returns an int is because the memory manager stores the size of each free block as size_t, which is defined in (...)

  Re: MIBO Kits, Any interest?
 
(...) Good point, I didn't think about that. You'd probably at least have a complete RIS. Would 1 RCX and 3 mini-motors make more sense? -Rob. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: MIBO Kits, Any interest?
 
Most folks who want to build MIBO probably already have at least one RCX. Personally, I have two... I might buy a kit without the RCXs. Issac. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rob Doucette" <lego@nospam.doucettenet.com> To: (...) (23 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  MIBO Kits, Any interest?
 
I'm thinking of putting together a MIBO starter kit which would include: 5 rotation sensors 7 turntables 1 micromotor 1 chain link pack (108 pieces) 1 copy of Jin Sato's book (includes complete MIBO instructions and NQC code) 5 mini-motors 2 RCX (...)

  Gutting an optical mouse - Part I
 
Based on recent discussions of using a mouse as a positioning device and sheer curiousity in exploiting the potential of a PS/2 device in general, I bought one. I couldn't wait to void the warranty!

  Re: anyone know how to check free space on RCX?
 
(...) int is defined as the natural width of the processor, which on a 16-bit processor is 16 bits. longs are 64 bits on some machines as well, so you can't assume it is always 32 bits -- if your code cares, use sizeof.

  Help
 
Hi,does anyone know how to set vision command using java language? Now I am woking on a robotic soccer project. But I don't know how to locate the soccer using vision command. Does anyone can help me? Thanks. (23 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: anyone know how to check free space on RCX?
 
That is very interesting Jason. It is interesting that mm_free_mem() returns a 16bit value using a 32bit return code. Both int and long are 32bit value on most computers/compilers these days; short would be a 16bit value; and char would be an 8bit (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: anyone know how to check free space on RCX?
 
While the declaration for mm_free_mem is int mm_free_mem(void) The fact is that the RCX has only 32K of memory available. 32K in hex is 0x8000... there's never a need for more than 4 digits in hex. Looking at key_handler() in kernel/program.c (the (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Ant pheromones
 
(...) Another trick to try... A lot of surfaces like electrical and duct tape are shiny - you get a MUCH better reading of the color/greyscale by mounting the light sensor on a slight angle to avoid direct reflection of the LED light. - Gareth (23 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: anyone know how to check free space on RCX?
 
Albert Huang, Sorry for the confusion. "most significant" = upper 16 bits and "least significant" = lower 16 bits (the free memory is a 32 bit value). If you write the values out, you will get the 32 bit value (both values are hex) ... for example: (...) (23 years ago, 11-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
