  Re: Bump switches and "aggression"
 
For a pure Lego solution, you could try rigging up something with a rotation sensor that would have the sensor point in the direction of the collision. Suppose the rotation sensor was mounted with it's input shaft pointing up vertically - with a (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Bump switches and "aggression"
 
There was discussion of one company that made switches with analog values that could be mixed, but they were apparently either expensive or hard to find (at least there was some difficulty). But simple resistor network, say a load resistor to ground (...) (22 years ago, 16-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It would take a truly immense number of solar panels to drive an RCX with a couple of motors. The Lego Solar Panel (you can get it from Pittsco Dacta from their educational stuff) just barely drives one motor...very slowly - and then only in (...)

How can I attach lets say 4 switches so the make a binary code, (4switches should need only two ports). I want to have one switch on each (...) (22 years ago, 15-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Alternate Energy Sources
 
I'm programming the RCX in the leJOS environment and don't like the prospect of downloading the firmware everytime I have to replace batteries. How good and reliable are the solar panels available for the RCX 2.0? Is anybody on the list using an (...) (22 years ago, 15-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
