  Re: Bluetooth and windows 2000
 
Hi Patrick, (...) It took me a while to find a working BT dongle working with W2000 and NXT, but the Belkin F8T013 does the job. The cheap "Blue Soleil" adaptor I tried before does not work. Philo (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  NBC with NXT - crash!
 
Hi, I wrote the following program, and it causes my NXT to crash! If I remove the ReadSensor() call from thread check_sensors, it doesn't crash. If I put a call to ReadSensor() in thread main, it doesn't crash. I tried putting mutexes around all the (...) (18 years ago, 21-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Hi I’m building a GUI interface for my NXT plotter (www.norgesgade14.dk/lego) and I want to change variables on the NXT itself - making the plotter able to draw squares of different sizes - how is that possible? Also I am having problems closing the (...) (18 years ago, 18-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Defective Ultrasonic sensor - Please Help
 
I decide to start a new subject for this, because I just figured out the problem with my US sensor. Thanks to Philo advice, i did easily open the sensor and I found this broken wire connection. So, when I connect this wire in the place it seems to (...) (18 years ago, 17-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) What I discover just now: If I press the light gray conector case behind the sensor case with my nail, it will report the correct values!! but when I release, it stop working again. It seems to be a bad contact inside the sensor. How can I fix (...) (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) No, is not. I am in "desperate mode", so, by now I am using only the NXT brick and the US, and trying to figure out more information about this condition... I realize now that the black grid in front of the right "eye" of the sensor is turned (...) (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values

  Re: NXT Ultrasonic reporting wrong values
 
(...) I'm not sure what you mean by "completely stopped" - stationary? I suppose it's possible that you actually have a bad US sensor. If you can find someone with a working one, try swapping sensors with them and see if the problem is isolated to (...) (18 years ago, 15-Oct-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.nxt)
