(...) I've seen this kind of messages many times and I have to ask something: Is this LEGO worldwide common practice, or it just happens in North America ? ok, I know, I can always ask them by email, but they take a long time to reply. Thxs for any (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It doesn't matter if the brick is dead; You can call up lego and say "Hey, my brick is dead!" and they'll send you another; They may or may not ask for the old one back. (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Well, to save you worrying, why not just go buy it for $30 and I'll send you the $30 + cost of postage and you can forward it to me. I'm sure I could get $30 value out of it. I don't think the average 3 year old would have a lot of use for it (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Iain, This looks like a perfect opportunity to try using the servo circuit I designed! If I use some of the heavier duty servos I have in my stash, it could probably go direct drive. Each servo has a 180 degree range of motion, which might be (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, I understand. Lego created VLL for barcode reading (CodePilot, and then MicroScout). Barcode reading is error prone, so are other forms of serial communication. Through the use of the VLL Checksum bits and timeouts, one can invalidate bad (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Good enough for me-- after all, any combinational logic construct (gates, but no registers/flip flops) can be represented as a ROM, and this is often done in practice. I can't imagine saying that just because one didn't represent it the other (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general)

(...) Well, yes - but then crystal oscillators are quite accurate (but crucially, not 100% accurate). You might have to run as long as one or two MILLION attempts before you see an error - but you *will* see an error if you do it for long enough. If (...) (25 years ago, 31-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
