  Re: FindLight
 
Thanks. I thought setting maxlight before the 'if' statement would be enough, but moving it closer to the front (before the 'while' statement') did the trick. The bit after the while loop still gives me pain though. I've changed it a bit to be able (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: FindLight
 
(...) Looks like you're setting maxlight = SENSOR_2, then testing if (SENSOR_2 > maxlight), which will rarely (if ever) be true, because the value of SENSOR_2 is unlikely to change in such a short time. I think the first maxlight = SENSOR_2 (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: FindLight
 
Thanks for the reply. I see I overlooked something significant there. Going over it all again I think I don't need 'light' Also, the parse errors are due to my omitting the ; at the end of each statement I've also discovered that I should put some (...)

  Re: Power Functions Element Pics (inc Plugs)
 
(...) I'm guessing there's a video. If so, I would recommend putting the video in a sub-folder by itself, as it is probably what is causing the delay. ROSCO (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) hey mark, thank you for posting all of this info. i look forward to seeing the gallery but it seems to be taking forever to be moderated. is there a chance you could post some deep links? ondrew (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  FindLight
 
I'm trying to write a simple program to make a roverbot-like robot seek for light. My basic idea is to use a timer ( Timer(0) ) to keep track of how long the robot has been turning and a variable (time) to remember the moment when the brightest (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  RE: Robolab-Optimizer
 
Why not have them do the following experiment? Use the new 100 speed level. Connect a rotation sensor. Loop for power levels in step of 5 from 5 to 100 Wait a little bit for motors to get to steady state speed. Reset rotation count Wait 1 second (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Robolab-Optimizer
 
One of the features of the Optimizer function in Robolab 2.9.2: Brake the motor between PWM pulses so that you get a linear motor behavior (double the number means double the speed) Could anyone elaborate on this to allow a bunch of high school kids (...)

  BricxCC & NBC/NXC News
 
The Sourceforge shell service finally came back on line today so I was able to update my web pages again. The official links to beta 27 are up now. I have also uploaded a revision to Danny Benedettelli's fantastic NXC Tutorial (and sample code). And (...) (18 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  RICScript
 
You may not find this terribly interesting, but I have implemented an RIC to Text converter (a decompiler, if you will) which generates source code for an RIC file in a text format. Soon BricxCC will have support for writing and (...) (18 years ago, 24-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Power Functions Element Pics (inc Plugs)
 
(...) Here are the pictures of the Power Functions elements from the Bulldozer 8275, including pictures of the plugs. (URL) (when modified). You can see it's a 4-wire system. There are basically 2 wires for power and 2 for control. I'll give more (...) (18 years ago, 23-Feb-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

1). I am envious... 2). Can you post pictures of the underside of the connector, the battery box connector and the IR connector? I would much appreciate it, thanks.

  Re: More Power Function MOC pics

  More IR Bulldozer pics
 
Here's a "rover robot" built,apparently, out of the new IR Bulldozer. August is much too far away. I like the look of those motors, not just for this but for GBC modules and other "simple" automation, and (if the IR system is compatiable) with the (...)
