|
|
(...) Richard (or others), I wish I knew where this info is coming from. Pitsco LEGO Dacta's web site has nothing I can find. I would like to know when Robolab 2.5 will be available and if there is an upgrade available to users of ver 2.0. And I (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Hi, (...) Bummer! I was afraid I might get that answer... :o) (...) Sure, but maybe it would be worth it, since I imagine that many/some of us will make some silly, but basic routine that cycles between float/stop and some motor power, anyway... (...)

(...) This is what the ROM routines support. (...) Yes, but then we'd need our own motor control routines in the lejos VM, and that would cost some precious memory. (...) Yes, the standard LEGO routines make it very hard to control speed. Basically (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| | 8 power levels, and only 8?
|
|
Hi there, Inspired by the answer by Juergen Stuber in the lejos/legos thread, I suddenly began to think about the fact that "we" only have eight power levels to choose among. Why is that? And can it be changed? When programming my bot for the W3D, I (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| | Re: Does lejOS has the same functions as legOS?
|

(...) No, for example LNP and speedometer are missing, motor control is standard with 8 power levels. In general it uses the standard ROM routines much more than legos. On the good side the rotation sensor problems it had until two months ago are (...) (23 years ago, 19-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| | Re: Using two RCX bricks in one robot

As long as there is some surface for the IR to bounce off, the bricks do not have to face each other. Sending messages is the technique that is used and is very effective. You can do this with any of the various programming languages. -- Bob Fay (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Amazon announced the publication of a new book: "Programming Lego Mindstorms With Java" by Brian Bagnall, Dario Laverde. Can anyone recommend it? Has anyone read a prepublication copy? Jerry (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

I'm kicking around the idea of building a Mindstorm's based entry for the Trinity College Fire-Fighting Home Robot Contest (see (URL) ). I may be mistaken, but it seems impractical to attempt this task with a single brick... there just don't seem (...) (23 years ago, 18-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
