I am a GBC/mindstorms guy and I have a few questions for this community: 1) Have any of the MUP/in-the-know folks tinkered with the NXT to create some ball contraptions? If so, can we see them? 2) Are we allowed to see any of the MUPs' creations as (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Dave, I'm a GBC/Mindstorms guy, also. And, a MUP to boot. Maybe I can answer some of your questions. (...) From the very beginning we talked about how the NXT can work within a GBC. We really haven't had enough time to build anything, but even (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I've been looking at the specs -- I can't find clockspeed, but I'm guessing around 16-20mhz (gameboy is 16.7). Years ago, I had some ideas for a very powerful language for robotics/AI research, that could run on systems with limited memory and CPU. (...) (19 years ago, 12-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have built a GBC ball counting module, that work perfectly well. The trick is to use a LEGO lamp in front of a light sensor, with the balls passing between them (you must also be sure that balls arrive one at a time). Using NQC events based (...)

(...) Apparently the answer is YES. See (URL) says "The MINDSTORMS Education NXT Base Set contains three converter cables so existing LEGO robotics sensors and motors can be used with the NXT brick." So don't dump your old sensors and motors. Roger (19 years ago, 16-Feb-06, to lugnet.robotics)
