| | Re: HiTechnic Compass Sensor Problems
|
|
(...) There is a problem with v1.01 of the LEGO firmware. You must have either V1.03 or V1.04. (I had that problem, also) The compass works fine with the newer firmware. It does say that on the HiTechnic web site, but it's not very obvious. Steve (18 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
