 | | two RC servo motor interface to the RCX
|
|
Hi All, the idea to control two RC servo motors via the RCX was a new challange to me and now, after finding a solution, (see www.inchlab.com) i'd like to know if some one else also figured out a diferent solution to this problem? Let me know... (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

The Unibots tested a bunch of different batteries in preparation for the Northern California State FLL tournament last December, without a doubt the Energizer e2 Lithium batteries (the kind in a blue package) outperformed all others, lasting through (...)

(...) Try: (URL) It requires pbForth, but you can build the servo encoder with only a few basic parts, not mocrocontroller! Cheers, Ralph (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hey, that was a great idea! I couldn't use ?/: to do it (NQC doesn't know those operators), had to actually write out all the if/else, but I actually just added it into my wheel generation program, so it printed out the function for me and I (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The light sensor just doesn't have that kind of resolution. I'd never get a very accurate position by doing that, I wanted a finer positioning system than I can get from using a rotation sensor. I'm trying to build something that's got (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I thought about something like that, but using 2 wheels and 2 touch sensors, not just one, and using my 2 bit encoding system like on the light sensor wheel. But I'm not sure how to build small round things out of Lego that have 36 divisions (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yah, but if I'm gonna build my own sensors, there's a lot I could do. I'm sort of a purist. I'm trying to stick with the stock sensors so that most people can build a copy of my system. Printing out something on a printer and gluing it to (...) (24 years ago, 12-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
