(...) Sounds like it's a firmware block though, so hopefully it can be overcome with "NxtOS" or whatever in future. ROSCO (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) <snip> (...) <snip> It is slightly more complicated than that. In order to make it go up slow enough to be interesting, I had to gear down the speed of the motor. As such I go from 8 teeth (I think) on the motor to the big 40 (?) teeth on the (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Computer scientists might know of Claude E. Shannon, considered the father of digital communication. He is also less well known for his Most Beautiful Machine, a machine that, when turned on, simply turns itself off. (A version can be viewed online (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hmmm... Speaking of SDK, based on a preliminary version of the Hardware SDK documentation the NXT is not capable of being both a master and a slave at the same time so a network of NXTs is limited to one master and three slaves and that's it.

(...) Actually, I think if you look closely at the NXT connectors and the DEC ones, you will find the latch offset to the wrong side. There are many of us that have been looking for these connectors for some time now, and it seems all the existing (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, the connector name is RJ-12 DEC 6P6C key it is usually used in telephony. You can find this in the link below. (URL) I found the crimping tool here (URL) this helps. Best regards Gustavo Santiago de Chile (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yep, I can confirm (finally, now that it's past May 1). It is a modified RJ12 connector (RJ-12 is 6 wire phone cord connector). The wiring and the jack size is the same, but the little lock piece that sticks up on the connectors is offset and (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks Philo! It looks like a lot of detailed and patient work, but I believe I could ruin a few before I got the hang of it. And the RJ11 phone cables are cheap these days. Thanks for the link. Todd (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) My understanding from reading some of the posts that the connector NXT uses is a non-standard RJ-esque connector. It is not RJ11 or RJ45 but some new connector. Not an electrical engineer myself, I do not know if this connector is even (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
