I got my Mindstorms NXT this past weekend and built the demo unit and then
the Claw with only minor programming errors. Tonight I started using some
of the various programming functions. My first program was to use the sonar
and detect the presence of someone and then play 1 of 5 random sound files.
Pretty simple. One problem, "out of memory"! After reading the help file I
was informed that out of the 256K of memory (which is small to begin with),
only about 56K is available for user files including sound files. Well, my
5 sound files were well over that limit alone. Reading the help file more
indicated that I could get more memory free by deleting some of the basic
files that come pre-loaded and if there is a problem you could reload the
firmware. Well, I had read that when some people try to upgrade/load the
firmware, their system becomes useless. So for now I have hesitated to
delete any files, not knowing which files I can delete with no problems.
Questions:
1) Can any one give me some idea what the pre-loaded (system) files are and
which one I can delete safely?
2) Can someone show me one of their more complicated programs and how much
memory it took? (I am thinking about just generating some random
programming with a lot of functions but no sound bytes to see how effiecent
the program is when complied but an example of a large real program would be
better).
Thanks for your time,
