  NXT Newbie "Is it possible" question
 
I am hoping to build a race timer mechanism using my NXT and 4 touch sensors. Essentially I need it to be similar to a pinewood derby timer. I am holding a LEGO car race for our homeschool group, and would love to be able to do all of the timing (...) (15 years ago, 18-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: os x support for old RCX?
 
I still program the old RCX using NQC on a PPC Mac (OS 10.4). Bit of mucking about to get it to work, but it does. I'll see if I can't get some notes together over the weekend for you. Cheers Tom (...) (15 years ago, 12-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: os x support for old RCX?
 
I had a look and osx is supported in leJOS, but it seems quite cumbersome for a total Java illiterate like me. i'd be happier if i can go the Robolab way. Thanks for the tip though, Andrew! If it comes to that, i'll go for leJOS. R (...) (15 years ago, 12-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Kernel freeze when attempting to use rotation sensor
 
Greetings, I would suggest comparing this code with other programs that make use of rotation sensors, such as the following: * LDCC - (URL) particular, dccdemo.c uses a rotation sensor as part of a DCC throttle. * Power Functions - (URL) this thread (...)

  Re: BrickOS Patches and Development
 
Re: Power Functions: There is an older thread on the topic of Power Functions at [ (URL) ] which includes links to some BrickOS-based code for Power Functions. Be sure to follow the thread to the end, as some of the links mentioned earlier on no (...) (15 years ago, 17-Jul-10, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
