| | Extending the firmware through DrawGraphic()
|

Having made an earlier suggestion about using file names to extend the capabilities, I've looked into it a little further and found something very useful. The 'NXTDrawPicture', or 'DrawGraphic' command can take an arbitrary array of variables. The (...) (18 years ago, 21-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) It's a good plan, but I don't think that's the right command. If someone was calculating the position of a line to draw it may well start or end off-screen in the negative values. How about hijacking the FileOpen command, and apply URL-type (...) (18 years ago, 20-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

Given: The Sound block can play a tone. What would it take to create a "Wait for Tone" block or to modify the "Wait for Sound" block to perceive a tone?

The code is working right well! But i think the stall control at the end o each task has no meaning there, since the until loop does not let the script reach it if the motor become staled. (...) Patrick (18 years ago, 19-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
