|

(...) I don't know if the instructions are on-line (publishers don't always like that), but you might want to have them build something similar of their own, just to help in designing something. Remote controls tend to be pretty simple (although (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Can someone confirm that the front panel buttons on the NXT are wired in such a way that it does not work to press two of them at once? Not too surprising, I suppose, just as early computer keyboards were pre-decoded to signal which single key was (...) (17 years ago, 21-Jan-08, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, FTX)
