Dear all, For those interested, I have been exploring the use of rapid prototyping technology in building new parts for the NXT. I attempted to build a propeller brick in combination with a more powerful motor. Read my results on (...) (17 years ago, 30-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

So, I simply display the US value and put the vehicle in different position manually. Here are my test values for (...) (17 years ago, 27-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm new in NXC. In the NXC-guide, I found SensorUS() returning a value from US-sensor. But in the LEGO software I can select inch/cm. Questions: What value is it returning, inch or cm? Can I set it to inch or cm? thanks Phuoc Can HUA (17 years ago, 24-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Strangely, it slows down, i.e. it detects the further distance (less reflection?) in the same angle. I tried to put the US-sensor vertically. It still shows the same effect. I also notice the closer it comes the larger angle it needs to get a (...) (17 years ago, 23-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

If there isn't enough energy reflected back for the sensor to "hear" the echo, it won't detect (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Brian, It works fantastic. Thanks. Now I've put 2 US Wait blocks. The 1st one to slow down for < 30cm and the 2nd one to turn for < 20cm. This works pretty well when the vehicle runs ~90 degree toward the wall. But when the angle is flat it only (...) (17 years ago, 22-Dec-07, to lugnet.robotics)
