Hello all. About a year ago I researched math functions so I could write some for the RCX. I found some power series functions that work really well. I see another message here posted by "nanobapt" has also posted some functions so I tested his (...) (21 years ago, 29-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I've been experimenting with some of the LabView icons available in "Investigator" mode in Robolab (under the "hourglass" item on the outermost menu). They seem to cause some odd behavior sometimes. It seems like it's especially a problem if one of (...) (21 years ago, 30-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
