(...) I made a sequence of stacked 1x2 plates, running from black to red, through green dark grey, light grey, tan, white, yellow, and orange on the way there. My nxt gave me reflected light values running from about 12 to about 52. The nine steps (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) Well, all my LEGO is tmeporarily put away for a three-year-old's birthday party, but this morning I finally got a Rock Crawler working... and it immediately stalled out in a pile of NXT kit spare parts :-( Sigh. At least it easily drives over (...) (18 years ago, 20-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Well... there's two things here, and Steve solution actually addresses them both. Do you actually need a continual series of states, and the "weight" of the thing on the end of the beam, or just know if something *is* on the end of the beam? (...)

(...) 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)

(...) "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)

(...) 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. (...)

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)
