It seems some people thought I wasn't serious. A monochrome display is just black or white, isn't it? (2 URLs) And in case you're wondering, I can tell you that the foreground scenery does lazily scroll past the logo, in parallax with the background (...)

Hi all, I'm still trying to get pbLua running on my brick. I've installed the LuaEclipse plugin which allows me to write (pb)Lua files in Eclipse with a decent editor support and written some programs. Yet, I still have absolutely no clue how to (...)

I'm very glad to know you got it working again. Incidently, the '1.02' I was talking about isn't the version number on NXT-G itself, but on the USB driver it uses. If you haven't updated that, you can still occassionally get locking into 'clicking (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

(...) It would be really cool if the girls could get OOBER back themselves. One way to do it is as follows: 1. Kill OOBER again. Not really, just hit the reset button for more than 10 seconds to force it into SAMBA mode again. 2. Let the girls do (...) (18 years ago, 25-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
