(...) *NOW* you're thinking like a Mindstorms person ;). Seriously, I'm glad it's working. The 1 ms difference could be due to a lot of things... but if it's not that critical, then it's not a problem. (15 years ago, 27-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) Well, I've built a 2 sensor version of Brian's idea using parallel sequence bars (I tried your idea Kevin, got stuck, then Brian chimed in). I just did some testing by building a rig to press the 2 sensors "simultaneously." I was able to get (...) (15 years ago, 26-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) I like it! As they say "There's more than one way to skin a cat". I work on computer servers that have 128 CPUs per chip and 512 CPUs per pizza sized box, and I knew that there is no true parallelism here with the NXT :) I like your design, (...)

Robotics, programming, and the NXT are all quite new for me, but I already having fun trying out the solutions provided, and learning the G progamming (...)

I still program the old RCX using NQC on a PPC Mac (OS 10.4). Bit of mucking about to get it to work, but it does. I'll see if I can't get some notes together over the weekend for you. Cheers Tom (...) (15 years ago, 12-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics)

I had a look and osx is supported in leJOS, but it seems quite cumbersome for a total Java illiterate like me. i'd be happier if i can go the Robolab way. Thanks for the tip though, Andrew! If it comes to that, i'll go for leJOS. R (...) (15 years ago, 12-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics)

I have just started playing around with leJOS on Linux with a lot of success--I would imagine that it would run nicely on OSX as well. (...) It does appear to be, sadly. ;-P -- Andrew G. Meyer (15 years ago, 11-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics)
