 | | NXT with 'RCX' rotation sensor
|
|
I connected a 'RCX' rotation sensor to my NXT. In the 'view' submenu you can test it, select port 1 to 4 and it works just fine. However programming with it isn't possible. When you select the 'rotation sensor' from the 'complete palette', you can (...) (19 years ago, 19-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Your NXT is partway through the "load new firmware" phase -- that's what the c;licking indicates. Here's what you need to do: 1. Open Robolab. 2. Go into administrator. 3. Download firmware. You should get a couple of screens saying firmware needs (...) (19 years ago, 18-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

My FLL team just received its NXT kit, and I of course decided to learn how to use it before the kids, so I could help them. I turned it on, loaded up ROBOLAB 2.9, plugged in the NXT, and went to the Administrator panel. I changed the port from COM1 (...) (19 years ago, 18-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Hello Hari, (...) There is a lot of down-gearing in NXT motors ((URL) so you have to overcome a lot of friction to rotate its output. That's why the old RCX rotation sensor still has some uses... Philo (19 years ago, 17-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks for your continued work on this John. One question: Even after invoking the Coast() macro, there's still some resistance when manually turning the motor output by hand. Is this unavoidable due to the gearing, or is there a way to lessen (...) (19 years ago, 16-Sep-06, to lugnet.robotics)
