  WIP - Red Quad
 
I have been working on this Red Quad. Contains the NXT. Work in Progress. (URL) (19 years ago, 27-Jan-07, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics.nxt, FTX) ! 
 
  Re: Improving the firmware?
 
(...) Dick, I was thinking more in the direction of adding a new Module, with a IOMap that has room to set a command and several parameters, and use the ReadIOMap and WriteIOMap to set them. This may not be the fastest solution, since as you (I (...) (19 years ago, 27-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Improving the firmware?
 
(...) Yes, LeJOS supports the Java Math library. (19 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Get Pixel Value Plotter
 
(...) I was able to connect the "Get Pixel Color" command with the RCX. I run a direct program on the computer, feeding color datum to the RCX. The RCX program is set up to receive the color datum and act on it in a sequential manner. Soon I will (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: New York City NXT Meet-up
 
(...) I think you could arrange and trip out to NYC! (no offense) but as long as you can speak in english. Anyway, thank you so much for your own kind thoughts about my future group., (19 years ago, 26-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, FTX)

../snip (...) Ah, I forgot, he is trying to do this with an ARM. (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: another comparison
 
(...) 1. Indeed. 2. I got an email some time ago from a 16 year old student Korean student, Jimin Sung,living in the US, who is making an autonomous underwater robot. I was so amazed of what he was doing. He sent me his application of the RFT (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Text Based Programming for NXT - pbLua is Available
 
(...) Hi pbLua-Fans, while waiting for Ralphs nxt = {}, I'm started some more test at my PC... and this it the result of today: (URL) was written using murgaLua (Lua5.1+FLTK+Luasocket). Some simple routines for emulating pbLUa are alreay running 8-) (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: another comparison
 
Hi Claude, (...) thanks, I found it at (URL) . And pseudocode is fine with me, Java or C were just meant as examples for textual languages. (...) :-) Best is to avoid assignment and modifiable state whenever possible. Jürgen (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: another comparison
 
(...) Hi Jürgen, The document, where I develop the theory of the algorithm has some text-pseudo code ( a mixture of C and PASCAL) that you easily can convert to anything. Since the document is math stuff, I largely prefer the := notation for (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: New York City NXT Meet-up
 
(...) Theo, Even though I live in Indiana and can't be part of your team, I want to applaud your efforts to start a new robotics group. I wish you guys all the best in growing your skills while having a lot of fun. IMHO - for an early competitive (...) (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: New York City NXT Meet-up
 
(...) I am interested. Please let me know when you have enough people for the first meeting. Thanks. Rey Parma (19 years ago, 25-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: What do these macros do?
 
(...) John - if you've got someone's ear in this, could you also see if a GCC build of the firmware can be released? I know LEGO are unlikely to use GCC themselves as they can afford more specialised tools, but so far, I don't see much of a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: another comparison
 
Hi Claude, (...) do you have the DFT algorithm in some programming language like Java or C? I'm just guessing, but maybe it could also be useful for speech recognition? Or maybe telling the cat from the dog? (The sound sensor should be usable as a (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: What do these macros do?
 
(...) It is possible to write to the popup buffer but only by using the IOMap routine (SetDisplayPopup). The regular system calls which write to the LCD all write to the normal display memory. Unfortunately, as Dick Swan suggested, the current NXT (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Unit LNE of the dinochrome brigade (Was: Rock Crawling)
 
(...) Awesome! Great videos! BTW if you want to know how to make bigger tires, try inserting old school 1" Lego tires into the crevices around the large grey "hula hoops" from the star wars kit. This will make tires at least 8" (20 cm) in diameter (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Controling NXT with Bluetooth Device(such as mouse, etc)
 
(...) That actually doesn't address the real problem. The NXT has a "dongle" built-in, so it can receive the Bluetooth messages. It just can't understand what it reads. The NXT requires a very specific message format, and that's not what the mouse (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Controling NXT with Bluetooth Device(such as mouse, etc)
 
(...) The problem is the NXT is a USB-slave device: it does not provide either the power (5V) or the communications ability to run a BT dongle (this is a seperate issue from the "shape" of the USB port: that's just a bit of hardware shaping to keep (...)

  Re: Controling NXT with Bluetooth Device(such as mouse, etc)
 
(...) Thank you for answering :-) How about putting a Bluetooth-Dongle to NXT? It will receive HID signal, but dongle will translate the signal into NXT-usable one. I think it will work, how do you think? (19 years ago, 24-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics)

We had (URL) a discussion about this earlier> when I asked about my Nintendo Wii remote. The only way this is going to work right now is as you suggested: (...)
