| - Anybody out there got any experience with Genetic Algorithms in LegOS, anybody willing to give me a little help in getting a handle on it, I'm considering a final year CSSE project using the RCX, and would be interested to here from anyone who's (...)

| (...) No- I should have been more clear: PC->tower->robot automatically turns on the tower and is therefore pretty robust (whereas the robot has no way to turn on the tower once it has gone off.) There is no way to use laptop IR to talk to the (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
| | | | | RE: RTC
|
| (...) Glad to hear it. Unfortunately, I'm also a student, the sysadmin, a programmer, and just general (computer) handyman, so I don't get to play with the robots all the time. (...) I see. So I can use regular laptop/PC IR to comm with the robot (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

FYI, The main limitation with the IR, assuming that your room is reasonably IR reflective, is that the tower turns itself off and so it can (...)

I was also looking for this. Thanks :) Thanks much for your help, Nils (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

That's an idea, although the data acquisition system primarily measures stress, (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| (...) Quick note about legOS: it is a replacement firmware for the Mindstorms, designed to allow you to write programs in C that run /on/ the robot itself. Not sure exactly what you mean by real-time, but I'm guessing that you mean something like (...) (24 years ago, 23-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
