 | | Serenity, an autonomous NXT-based boat
|
|
Well, I blogged about it, and wanted to make sure I shared it with the folks that inspired me (LUGNET). I've never been really interested in LEGO boats, because in the first place I couldn't see much use for them (guiding a robot over featureless (...) (17 years ago, 12-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics) !

(...) The 15 ms that John reported is the time it takes for a sound pulse to travel 500 mm, the round trip distance at the maximum advertised range of the US sensor. An interesting coincidence? Roger Glassey (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| | NXT-G/ROBOTC Firmware Scheduler and Clump Priority

In a typical operating system (OS), tasks are scheduled on a priority basis. The highest priority task always executes ahead of lower priority tasks. If there are multiple tasks at the highest priority, then they are typically executed in a round (...) (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) After tuning, NBC achieved 73K test cycles. It achieved these great results by setting the task "priority" to 200. Unfortunately, unless the NXT-G task scheduler has been rewritten, these results might be a little too high. A NXT-G task (or (...) (17 years ago, 6-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) To my knowledge the LEGO Ultrasonic sensor does not support changing its I2C address. IIRC it is hard-coded to 0x02. I do not think it is ADPA-compliant. John Hansen (17 years ago, 5-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt.nxthacking)

(...) The errors that occur are that the sensor does not properly report variable distances as it is positioned at varying distances from an obstacle. If you slow down the read rate then it works correctly (i.e., with a wait of ~15 ms between read (...) (17 years ago, 5-Sep-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
