  Re: Jin Sato Book about Mibo
 
Ok, I'll answer my own question: (URL) I think I saw this a long time ago, but I had assumed that the "Mibo in Book!" link was referring to the Mibo on the cover of a Japanese magazine that Jin Sato had on display at Mindfest. I didn't realize it (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.books)
 
  DC output at motor max speed with legOS
 
Hi, I am trying to control a stepper motor with LegOS, and I need to have a constant DC output from a motor output, like when I choose speed(8) with the Lego firmware, so I can turn it on and off to make pulses of the duration I choose. Is this (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Lght Sensor & Three colors?
 
I saw a 6th grade girl with a lego robot arm that could sort about 10 different lego colors using the light sensor. It was amazing. It wasn't the RCX, but the light sensor was the same. She actually brought in her pink and purple LEGOs from home (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Gearing down a lego motor
 
I think a worm gear and a 40-tooth gear worked for me. A string was fixed above, and wound around the axle connected to the 40-tooth gear. This wasn't fast though, more like a slow climb. But I think you definitely want a worm gear or some kind of (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Mindstorms for Dummies
 
I got Mindstorms for Dummies sent to me as soon as it was ready from Amazon, since I'm curious what my competition looks like. :) And I kept quiet for a while, but I'm glad you wrote something first, Ralph, because I feel the same way. I was (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.books)  
 
  Re: Jin Sato Book about Mibo
 
Where is this book? URL? I have Joe Nagata's book (japanese version) and have the english book on order, but I didn't know that Jin Sato had a book! I met him at Mindfest and asked him to write a chapter for my book, but then I never got around to (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.books)
 
  Re: Legos 0.2.5 and Win2k
 
If you can get in touch with Paolo directly, I believe he said that he had 0.2.5 running under Cygwin 1.0. If you can get his compiler packages for that, the newer Cygwin may help with W2K. And of course you can always go to www.redhat.com for a (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  Re: Q: Multitasking, and reacting to sensors
 
(...) Sorry Juergen, but that's not quite right. You can start and stop tasks as often as you wish to do. like this int do_s_s = 0; int condition = 0; task main() { while (1) { if (condition && !do_s_s) { start do_something_special; do_s_s = 1; } if (...)

  Re: Q: Multitasking, and reacting to sensors
 
Hej Tobias! (...) No, rather you need a While or Until loop. Normal programming languages are different from the RCX code. In RCX code the watchers are running all the time, in NQC you need to program the repetition yourself. A program for simple (...) (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Legos 0.2.5 and Win2k
 
Has anyone had any luck getting legos 0.2.5 to work under Windows 2000, I'm running 0.2.4 quite cheerfully under cygwin b20 , but 0.2.5 refuses to compile...and in the new cygwin legos 0.2.4 refuses...argg if only I wasn't so dumb :) - ciaran (24 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
