 | | Gyro Sensor for RCX?

|
Hi there, I just came across a micro gyroscopic sensor Development Kit on: (URL) device would make a very nice turn and spin sensor for the RCX. Unfortuantely I don't own a Mindstorms box yet (My kids are still too small) and I just thought you guys (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | RCX sensor interfaces - diodes
|

I'm in the middle or working out the circuit for my gray encoder sensor and looking at the various interface schemes. I notice that most examples use 1N4148 diodes, but one site I have visited (but I can't for the life of me remember which :/) (...) (23 years ago, 28-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Does anyone know how I can get leJOS mentioned in the Links and Resources section of the lugnet.robotics.rcx.java homepage? Thanks, (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

|

1) If you have a serial tower, there is no reason I can think of to purchase the USB tower. If you use a USB tower, then you will need the USB support that Robolab 2.5 provides. 2) The hardware differences between the 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 bricks are (...)

I suspect this is due to the fact that the first sample from the sensor is actually being obtained while the sensor's reservoir capacitor is still charging. Why don't you try a simple test, actually two tests; 1. Initialise as passive sensor Wait 1 (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| | Light sensor initialization time?
|

Hellow! Here a little fact: the first reading on the light sensor _just_ after you have activated it is too high. It seems like one has to wait a little after activating the sensor. The following program shows it rather nicely: ____START OF CODE____ (...) (23 years ago, 27-Sep-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
