(...) There was a TV show on the Discovery Channel or one of the other science channels a couple of years back on exactly this topic. It was one of the "kids do science things" type of show.

| | Datalogging with the NXT
|
|
OK, I've got to admit that this isn't exactly "robotics". In fact, it must be about the smallest "robot" I've ever made, in that it was really just the NXT and a single sensor, with a few 3L pins and a studless beam to secure the sensor. But the (...) (17 years ago, 31-Oct-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Here is my last creation, a four-stroke pneumatic compressor. (URL) only special parts are the small pumps and the crankshaft pieces. This compressor can also be build up partly.

(...) The changes between 1.03 and 1.04 are far more extensive than the changes from 1.04 and 1.05, if you lump the support for ADPCM compression into a single change (which involves c_sound.c, d_sound.c, d_sound.h, d_sound.r, d_sound_adpcm.r, and (...)

(...) I'm not sure if there's a better way, and I haven't tried it with an NXT, but I've had good luck with option 2 using an RCX. I isolated the track by putting a bit of clear tape over the ends that connect to the other track sections. -Elroy (17 years ago, 17-Oct-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.ulug)
