hi kevin and steve

it should be the first moc
where the rcx would be let's say a slave to pneumatic circuit
am i right guys

:D

I've been building in prep for BF for many weeks.

Will this new central timing circuit allow you to attach touch sensors, • so, if you
wanted, you could track the state of the walker with an RCX?

Yes, it should be just as doable as it would be with the quad-242 circuit.

You could either use four switches to examine the timing circuit, or two
switches to examine a leg.


Just curious.  :)

(...) Sounds like an ideal application for an RCX input multiplexer: (URL) You can then have 12 switches on your RCX to measure two positions on each of 6 legs. Using the thermometer setting on the ports, each combination of switches is (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) LOL! Well, in fact, when SSClagorpion is further along, the RCX will control two pneumatic multiplexors that control forward/reverse and turning/walking. With this new circuit the changes from turning/not turning, and forward reverse should be (...) (19 years ago, 31-Jul-05, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
