  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) I don't think that's an issue. In the sensors I have the mesh is not straight. Steve (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) No, is not. I am in "desperate mode", so, by now I am using only the NXT brick and the US, and trying to figure out more information about this condition... I realize now that the black grid in front of the right "eye" of the sensor is turned (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) Yes, "stationary" is the correct word... The problem that i bought this one in UK, but i live in Brazil. No one here have this set (Actualy, i don´t know anybody who plays with LEGO mindstorms also...) With BrickxCC watching this sensor I get (...)

  Re: Managing Memory
 
(...) I've tested some, but not a lot (speed of execution I've tested more). Yes, NXT-G is not memory-friendly, *but*... (URL) biggest first problem is putting a bunch of nice sound files on-board (and especially not deleting them later). The nest (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) Is this sensor mounted on a robot? Make sure you don't have anything anywhere in front of the robot. Steve (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) I'm not sure what you mean by "completely stopped" - stationary? I suppose it's possible that you actually have a bad US sensor. If you can find someone with a working one, try swapping sensors with them and see if the problem is isolated to (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
A just get my NXT, and everything works fine, but the ultrasonic sensor is not reporting correct values. No matter what distance or direction it is pointed, the readings changes quickly from 1 to 3 inches (3 to 7 cm) even if the sensor is completely (...)

  Re: NXT-G using RCX items.
 
(...) I have a conveter cable so I finally did some tests with NXT-G and here is what I find-- RCX motor runs in both directions, and responds to the speed settings. The touch sensor works. The light sensor measures ambient light. But the bad news (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Managing Memory
 
I've got 8 kids working on NXT who have been experiencing "not enough memory". So, I did a little experimenting. Every new program takes a minimum of 6K. Every Move Block takes 0.5K Imagine that! 500 bytes for a simple move block. I haven't measured (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Ultrasonic Distance measurement
 
(...) Sorry for the thread hijacking, but... Stef, where are your wonderful Lego sensor hardware pages? I can no longer find them on the web! I'm missing them, and probably a lot of people too! Philo (20 years ago, 14-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Ultrasonic Distance measurement
 
(...) What kind of receiver amplifier do you use, these received signals are very-very small. see for example this: (URL) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: NXT-G using RCX items.
 
(...) Well, you need converter cables of some sort to even connect RCX sensors and motors to the NXT. Beyond that, I'm not sure; I've not tried yet, because I don't have the converter cables to try. I suspect you will need the special NXT-G (...) (20 years ago, 13-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  NXT-G using RCX items.
 
Hello Everyone: I just read the press release regarding the LEGO Mindstorms Education NXT. There is no discount available for their software that allows me to use my RCX motors, sensors etc with the NXT-G. Do I even need their version to run RCX (...)

  NBC News for NXT
 
Last night I uploaded a new beta to the NBC website. This new beta includes support for multi-dimensional arrays. In NBC you can now define arrays of 3 or 4 (or more) dimensions. You can use arrays of structures containing arrays of arrays, etc... (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Sophisticated Toy Robot to Get Mind-Altering Software
 
(...) Allowing NXT-G to use arrays and clusters (aka structs) will be a nice addition to the language. Hopefully it is exposed in a way that does not require writing VIs in LabView. Hopefully they will allow for creating variables that are clusters (...) (20 years ago, 12-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics)
