 | | What is your current Mindstorm project? —Dan Bair
|
| | | I am building something from the 8889 Technic Idea Book. There is a ski Gondola using the old 4.5 Volt motor(I think). You know the one with the 3 C batteries in a round grey tube? Anyway they built this gondola that would climb on a string up a 45 (...) (26 years ago, 29-Sep-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) Two ideas. 1) My friend Paul and I are trying to make some sort of 'tag' game -- or perhaps hide & seek -- that two RCXbots can play with each other. 2) A room-mapping robot that communicates with a Linux computer which does the actual storing (...)

| | | | | | | | | (...) OOOhhh! what's that? tell me more :) My current project is a design for a SolarVane (Sun Tracking Unit) that only uses 2 light sensors (Ideally you'd have 4, but I came up with an elegant little fudge to solve that)... Now I just need a (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | | | (...) Check out (URL) and in specific (URL) Quite C is (as the name implies) a C-like programming language for the RCX. It runs on MS Windows and MacOS, and as soon as Dave gets around to working on the serial code, on Linux. It's _much_ more (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

Each pair of light sensors is used to determine variance above and below the "ideal" position, with one pair controling each axis of motion (when both light sensors in a pair are in shade, the head is pointed directly at the sun (or bright (...)

What would be the best forum for discussing CyberMaster operated via Linux, by the way? The LEGO Robotics (...) (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | | (...) Yah, and the stuff at (URL) should be useful. The Cybermaster radio unit attaches via the serial port, right? It'd be nice if it uses the same protocols and firmware as the Mindstorms RCX... (26 years ago, 1-Oct-98, to lugnet.robotics)

Currently I'm just trying to get my robot to survive in my flat for more than a minute! ;-) The main (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
