| | | | | Re: Train motors comparison
|
| (...) Okay, this is awesome work, Philippe, to see the comparison of the new PF motor vs the 9 volt motor. As an eight wider, I always lamented the underpowered 9 volt motor in its attempts to pull heavy, 8 wide consists. But it wasn't such an issue (...)

| | | | | Re: Text languages for programming NXT?
|
| I'm getting back into Mindstorms after a long hiatus. Let me resurrect this old thread, to see what the answer is in 2010. :-) What text-based languages are most mature and best-supported these days for programming RCX and NXT? Is RobotC still (...)

| (...) *NOW* you're thinking like a Mindstorms person ;). Seriously, I'm glad it's working. The 1 ms difference could be due to a lot of things... but if it's not that critical, then it's not a problem. (15 years ago, 27-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

|
| (...) Well, I've built a 2 sensor version of Brian's idea using parallel sequence bars (I tried your idea Kevin, got stuck, then Brian chimed in). I just did some testing by building a rig to press the 2 sensors "simultaneously." I was able to get (...) (15 years ago, 26-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I work on computer servers that have 128 CPUs per chip and 512 CPUs per pizza sized box, and I knew that there is no true parallelism here with the NXT :) I like your design, (...)

Robotics, programming, and the NXT are all quite new for me, but I already having fun trying out the solutions provided, and learning the G progamming (...)

| (...) I'm not sure how much time you have, or what resources... but you might be able to do this with a single set. If you put an arm on each motor, such that "track A" would hit a peg and turn the motor clockwise, but "Track B" would hit a peg on (...) (15 years ago, 24-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
