  Re: Any experience with measuring rotations?
 
(...) I am not rally an NXT guru, but seems the best way would be to simply measure the distance and calculate the angle. Tommy Armstrong (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Any experience with measuring rotations?
 
(...) Don't mess with colors. Just use a gradient. You'll have a mostly linear set of values. With my black & white studs, there are also several shades of gray in between (like a little black & mostly white...) (...) no. :) Steve (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Any experience with measuring rotations?
 
(...) "It's foolproof!" (...) This sounds like a good idea. I'm thinking I'm going to have to work out a sequence of more than just two shades, but that's what weekends are for, right? So, if I could make of sequence of colors that have increasing (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Any experience with measuring rotations?
 
(...) Easy. A light sensor. Point the sensor at a disk that's shaded from white to black. I've used that to detect the distance a robot is from a wall (wall following), using just a black & a white dot (1x1) which are moved in front of the sensor. (...)

  Any experience with measuring rotations?
 
Hi all, I am working on a "project" where I want to measure some reasonably small rotations, things on the order of +/- 10 degrees or less. Just to make it hard, the force acting on the thing being rotated is small, like, completely hypothetically, (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Like A Rock Crawler Hauler
 
(...) Very cool Steve... I can also atest the turn radius will stink since I did the same mod to the red tow truck set last year. You said you are using old style light sensors...Interfacing them to the NXT with the converter cables I assume?

  Re: Text Based Programming for NXT - pbLua is Available
 
(...) Nothing, it restarts back to blank screen, samba clicking mode. (...) Same thing. I also tried pulling the batteries for a few seconds. Telling USB Probe to refresh. 100 different combinations of resetting with and without usb plugged in, (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Text Based Programming for NXT - pbLua is Available
 
(...) Tony, thanks for the work so far. What happens if, after the firmware is loaded you do any of the following: 1. Reset the NXT (press reset for less than 1 second) 2. Unplug the USB cable, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in again (...) Here's (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
 
  Re: Text Based Programming for NXT - pbLua is Available
 
Here are my notes on what I've been able to accomplish so far in OSX on my MacBookPro. Loading pbLua firmware on nxt running standard firmware: 1. plugin usb 2. rename nxt-lua.bin to nxt-lua.rfw 3. open NXT-G, goto Tools -> Update NXT Firmware. (...)
