I'd like to thanks everybody who helped me get my rcx up and running on
my Mac... I am now using NQC though I will probably order Robolab
and/or IC in the near future just for the sake of having them.
I've found that NQC/MPW is a little buggy in OS8.5.1 with Virex 5.9
enabled. After disabling Virex, everything seems to work fine (so far).
Being a car racer (and my racing season coming up soon), has anybody
tried making an accelerometer using a light sensor at the end of a
pendulum? I'm thinking of having a light sensor at the end of a
pendulum, facing down on a flat grid of white/black stripes. The more
stripes the light sensor passes through from the swinging pendulum, the
more G's the car is pulling. Sound plausible? Any better ideas?
