Hi all, I'm writing down some practical work for students that learn computer science. The goal is to teach them how a serial communication works. Therefore, we want them to write a program that listens to serial communications. The PC will send (...) (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|
|
(...) I'd guess it depends on what you are doing. Without a doubt, raw gives you the best sensor resolution. I'd guess that for kids it is easier to think in terms of 0 to 100%. Since you are not a kid, raw is probably better. (...) Kevin (20 years ago, 15-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Differences between Raw Sensor readings and Light Sensor

Hi, Can someone point out the differences between setting a sensor as Light (or any custom sensor) vs setting the sensor as Raw? Isnt it better to use the RAW readings since it reports a range of 0 to 1023 as opposed to scaling the readings to 0 to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Apr-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, I've again found a way to solve this problem: Sometimes you have to replace the OS root "\brickos" with "c:\cygwin\brickos". Sometimes it works just with "\brickos". I don't know why.

I have found the solution myself (and with the help of the Mindstorms Forum): Edit -> Preferences -> Compiler C/C++/Pascal Here you have to set the right paths. The OS root was wrong.
