 | | Universal Remote vs Lego remote
|
|
I'm very new to the whole robotics thing so forgive me if the answer to my question is obvious. Can a universal remote, the type that "learns" the function of other remotes, be used to "learn" the functions of the Lego remote? and.. If the IR tower (...)

I found an Adobe PDF describing the 'AI Motor' part in English - there is some great detail there: (URL) that this unit is a motor with an integrated position sensor and a torque sensor with a daisy-chained serial bus to allow either a PC or their (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Wow! It seems to be exactly what I've been hoping to see for *years*. Motors and sensors daisy-chained together with some kind of serial protocol for addressing them. This system seems to allow you to have 31 sensors and motors connected (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics)

Following up from my earlier post, I have completed a firmware patch for the rotation sensors. This post contains the patch with installation instructions followed by a technical description. A long post but hopefully more than made up by the value (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Please help. I just recently got a Sharp GP2D12 ir distance ranger plus RCX interface device from mindsensors. It is pretty cool, however I am getting alot of flucuation in the readings and in turn I think that i am losing out on range. The maximum (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. You're reply confirmed my suspicion about leaving the port object lying around. I think I'll try your first suggestion of 'deleting' the port object at the end of each routine. I hope you dont mind me asking (...) (22 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

(...) All this talk of patching firmware to correct for problems in rotation sensor readings is very interesting, but I think you may be approaching the problem a bit too directly. First, if the competition rules specify the programming environments (...) (22 years ago, 28-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
