  Re: Problem with IR
 
(...) Your correct, it isn't that. I know all about -Susb, because I'm using a serial and a usb tower simultaneously with respective rcx's. One sets in a box so their is no IR crossover. I have swapped over the towers. The USB worked perfectly in (...) (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Problem with IR
 
(...) Since posting I found the old post reporting this problem and have since tried this fix. Alas it didn't work but I will try it again. Steve (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: Problem with IR
 
(...) This probably isn't it, but if you're using the command line, have you included the -Susb parameter to tell NQC you're using USB? (This will takes ages to post as my email isn't working, so sorry if you have 5 other replies before this one...) (...) (19 years ago, 20-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Re: Problem with IR
 
(...) Possibly you are experiencing a problem with the USB Tower driver which I have heard several other users report. Other users who had this problem were able to fix it by editing the USB Tower timeout values using the LEGO USB Tower Control (...) (19 years ago, 21-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Problem with IR
 
For some reason I'm having a problem downloading with NQC. I previously had the serial tower set up at the end of a track. The rcx on my robot goes up and down it. I used to have occasional problems with the IR comms, but I'd change the battery and (...) (19 years ago, 19-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  RE: different light readings...
 
Hi David, I am sorry that I did not clarify my question. Thank you very much for taking the time out to help though! I fully understand that variations that light sensor produces, and I do make calibration the first thing to do before I run my bots. (...)

  Re: different light readings...
 
(...) Different light sensors will produce different readings. The range of readings you get will also vary between different light sensors (for example, between the same white surface, and the same black surface, one light sensor might have a (...)

  different light readings...
 
Hi, I have these 2 different light sensors. One reads "41" vs another reads "34" on the same area. I have troubleshoot it by switching ports, different RCX brick. The reading different stays the same. Is this reasonable because they might have a (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello Dick, I am working with a professor at the University of Central Florida and we would like to use the Robolab software for several of our robotics classes. The one issue we see in doing that is that the motor settings in the software only (...) (19 years ago, 13-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

  Re: explain polarity to middle school children
 
(...) Hmmmm, that is a challange, because any cursory example leaves out the physics. I was just thinking perhaps if you likend polarity to a visual of a two lane highway. Trafic going in opposite directions. Flow and return. On the surface, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  explain polarity to middle school children
 
I tried to create a couple of images to explain give children, age 10 to 12, a good understanding of what polarity is. They all know changing the direction of the motor. However, I am trying to provide more details without going over their head. (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: programming tips
 
(...) With the standard firmware, not that I know of. You *can* block all incoming signals by continuously broadcasting. Having a task repeatedly transmit a simple message endlessly means that the RCX can't recieve normal messages, possibly (...)

  Re: swan question

It will tell you that MTR can be used with the MotorPowerXXX and SetMotorPowerXXX functions. Use the help system Find feature and it (...) (19 years ago, 30-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  swan question
 
Hi I'm experimenting with the Swan firmware but I have a puzzle. Is the constant OUT_A a direct equivalent to MTR_A as replacing OUT_A with MTR_A doesnt seem to work.I've used SetMotorPower128(MTR_A,50) to set motor speed. The command that doesn't (...)

  Re: compiling problem
 
(...) I'm glad that your problem was so quickly resolved. Isn't LUGNET great? In the future, if you have problems compiling NQC code you might want to post the exact error text generated by the compiler. If you use BricxCC to run NQC the full error (...)
