  Light seeker
 
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any experience programming (NQC) a stationary |light seeking head? I have one made using a rotation sensor for reference, and 2 light sensors but can't seem to get the programming down. |Thanks |John Jordan (20 years ago, 25-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Robot cleaner on the new inventors
 
On the (URL) New Inventors> tonight (ABC TV Australia), there was a short segment on kids inventions, and two girls invented a floor cleaner based on an RCX. It looked like a fairly simple robot, with touch sensors each end, and some floor wipes (...) (20 years ago, 24-Nov-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.mediawatch, FTX)

  Lego remote control code for PC
 
Is there a way to write programs on the PC that are controlled by the Lego remote control? Clearly the RCX can be programmed to react to signals from the remote control but I was wondering whether the same could be done for a PC. Thanks, Ralph (20 years ago, 23-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

Hi, I've been using the lejos vision system to track a pattern of lights in the ceiling. It splits the image into regions, selects the brightest, zooms in, repeats, and so on. It then repeates this process for every point in the pattern. It returns (...) (20 years ago, 19-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
