I think I ought to buy another rotation sensor. This thing is *wild*. If you (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) That's exactly what my common sense made me believe. But various tests I did, using a dump of a Datalog with the timmings measured by the RCX, proved me wrong. Every Wait(10) was correctly measured as a Timer(3)==1, and every Wait(50) as a (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I wrote Gordon's Brick Programmer for Mindstorms after I was 50... ...and then I had to go out and buy lots more lego. Just for testing purposes you understand:-) Malcolm Powell (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Wooaahhh! That can't be true. Both machines are running some kind of (hopefully) crystal oscillator to generate the clock that drives the Timer() and Wait() commands. No two cystal oscillators generate the *exact* same timing - so your two (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'm pretty sure the Tinkertoy 'computer' was basically a look-up table that had all positions coded into it with the correct responses, making use of symmetries to cut down the size of lookup needed. I don't really consider that to be a (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general)

(...) You are absolutely correct. The reason I was quoting "computer" was because it has such a broad definition. Some folks get downright violent if you call an abacus a computer, but it is.
