(...) Well, just for diversity here's a slightly different approach. Make the first block a "Reset Timer" block, then split the program into four sequences. Each is simply a "Wait for Touch Sensor", followed by "Read Timer" block with the result (...) (14 years ago, 24-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Yes, change the "wait for 9" to be a "check for 9", and the problem should go away... Loop forever if Touched and distance < 9 { turn on motor } else { turn off motor } Kevin (14 years ago, 19-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Chris, Sure it is, as long as the NXT cables are long enough to place the sensors where you want on the track. As you already figured out, the tricky bits are in the software. Here is pseudocode for what I would do were I to program it in G (...) (14 years ago, 19-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

I am hoping to build a race timer mechanism using my NXT and 4 touch sensors. Essentially I need it to be similar to a pinewood derby timer. I am holding a LEGO car race for our homeschool group, and would love to be able to do all of the timing (...) (14 years ago, 18-Aug-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

| | Rechargeable NXT battery DOA?
|

I ordered the rechargeable battery earlier this week and it arrived yesterday. It appears to be DOA as it does nothing when plugged in amd reads 0v with a multimeter. I am using a 9v regulator from a 9v train set which I have been told will work (...) (15 years ago, 27-Mar-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) I can see how this can happen and it depends on the sequence of events. This sequence will cause this behavior: touched AND distance < 9 - Motor turns on touched AND distance > 9 - Motor running, waiting for distance < 9 untouched AND distance (...)

One of my students built the chainsaw model from nxtprograms.com. He wanted to make the blade turn only when it was at a distance less than 9 inches from the table. So he attached an ultrasonic and made one mod to the program. The program in NXT-G (...) (15 years ago, 23-Jan-10, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
