Can anyone comment here on the status of the so-called 2.0 system. Can they be purchased yet? If so, where? TIA Harley Myler (URL) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) One technique that is forgotten in the days iof surface mount is to use a sacrificial connector. Back in the olden days, when we updated a BIOS by changing the actual chip (no FLASH then) we would often put the chip in a second socket, or put (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

A lot of computer connectors are designed for "installation" connection, not repeated connect and disconnect. I would suggest you install a short male to female "pigtail" cable to relieve wear and tear on your already failing connector. Use of such (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) If you open up the computer, you should be able to push them back into place from the back of the connector. However, once they get displaced like that, it'll happen more and more often. In the end, you'll have to push the tower cable into the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The possibilities are endless. I would start with the sensor and move on from there. The stability and accuracy (precision) requirements will depend heavily on the robot configuration. It does not need to have pointed feet like a ballerina (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The two gates he presents seem a little complex and bulky. I think the reason is the choice of representation for the logic levels 0 and 1...and perhaps even the idea of base-2 arithmetic at all. It seems to me that if you chose '0' to be (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, I think your software has to be able to predict (mathematically) what will happen to the robot and the pendulum as it accellerates the motor. You can't rely on the simple "if pendulum in middle all is well" thing. You need to know the (...) (24 years ago, 14-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
