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 (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Once you delete a lot of the "Try me" and on-brick programming stuff, this jumps up to (IMS) 120k+ or so. Still not ideal (yeah, I'd like a Mb of memory as well :-), but much better. As to what to delete, I've taken everything off but the (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) By "Block" you mean a simple operation like and add or a multiply or turning on a motor or reading a sensor? These 'blocks' ought to be turned into little interpreted byte-code segments - it's hard to imagine how a block could possibly take up (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) By "block" I mean a NXT-G code block as dropped from a pallet. Yep, you would think that these things would compile down to a single bytecode (or a few bytecode sequences), but they don't. There is an awful lot going on under the hood, and (...) (18 years ago, 8-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Everything in NXT-G is a block that you drag and drop onto your program. All blocks in NXT-G are LabView Virtual Instruments (VIs). Some blocks expand into a loop construct. Others expand into a switch construct. They often represent (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Wow, what a wealth of information. Thanks for the great detail. I am already using the Wav2Rso program but did not know enough about sound files to understand the convertion options. Which option gives you the smallest converted file? In your other (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'm not certain, but I think the file size will be basically the same for each resample option since the result is an 8k 8 bit mono file. There may be slight differences. The higher quality options (in quality order from top to bottom) may be (...) (18 years ago, 10-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I'm coming in a little late on this topic, but I wanted to restate things just a little. NXT programs are built using a library of blocks. These blocks are not "built-in", to the compiler, but are simply shipped and placed in the palette. Each of (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)
