Hello, Well after a week of head beating, cursing, downloads and chicken waving AND a great deal of help from Max Bowsher (this last bit was actually the most useful :-) I finally have legOS up and running with the above setup. Had I followed Max's (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Dave and Luis, Thank you both for the information. I'm big admirer of the work you've done for the RCX community. (...) I see. (60/0.003)/16 = 1250 And if you were worried about the Sampling Theorem you would divide that in half just to be sure.. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

When using the standard firmware, sensors are sampled every 3 ms. The rotation sensor uses a quadrature encoder with a 1:4 gearing between the axle and the encoder, so there are 16 "ticks" per revolution of the axle. The decoding routine in the (...)

The hardware can actually do (in my testing) up to ~3000 rpm with good accuracy. The problem is with the standard software, which cannot do more than some low number (which may or may not be 500, I don't recall) because of how it samples the HW. (...)

Hi, is anybody using the remote patch ? I d be glad if anybody could post or send me some sample code for the pc-side where remote messages are send to the RCX. Thanx, Olaf Christ (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | rotation sensor question

I installed leJOS, got it up and running, then read on the sourceforge site a support question about the rotation sensor, so I decided to test it out. I wrote a first cut at it and it didn't work, just like the support question suggested: import (...) (23 years ago, 20-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Does anyone know the correct maximum sampling rate for the Lego rotation sensor? This morning I noticed that Dave Baum gives a value of 1250 RPM in his "Definitive Guide" (page 29), but looking at (URL) see a value of 500 RPM. Which is correct? (...)

The part I am having problems with is the dark-grey "foot pedal" looking part. Does anyone know what this is called or what it's used for? This has been the single biggest mystery to me since I bought the RIS kit over a year ago. (23 years ago, 19-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
