|

Not exactly.... The output is an analog voltage, meaning it's not exactly a digital TTL 0 volts or 5 volts, but ranges from 200mv (call this low) to Vcc-200mv (call this high). But this is a PWM output, meaning that with the chip stationary with (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

Sorry for my ignorance, but doesnt the datasheets mention that it contains both analog and digital outputs and either may be used. Ram (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

From looking at the data sheets, it's going to be a bit more of a project than just "hooking it up". At a minimum you'll need to have a small micro to decode the dual PWM outputs, and they (AD) have a data sheet describing the use of a Parallax (...)

Hi, I just order two free samples of Analog Devices ADXL202E at (URL) Anyone know if this can be hooked up to the RCX? Ram PS: Try to get a free subscription to "Sensors". It is a really cool magazine... (26 years ago, 15-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

| | Re: Collective robotics with LEGO Mindstorms
|
|
(...) I once saw an incredible site about a challenge set by Lego for people to make robots that destroyed each other, but only using lego elements. Some of them used 30+ motors and they basicly ripped each other to pieces. There was also a section (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi all, Anybody has tried the topic in subject? Any interesting references? We've got just one so far: (URL) Pavel Petrovic, petrovic@idi.ntnu.no PhD student, Department of Computer and Information Science, Norwegian University of Science and (...) (26 years ago, 12-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | RE: Is Extreme Creatures Good? FOS stuff
|
|
Time to jump in.... The FOS uses a small surface mount LED. It's about 2.5mm x 3 mm and mounted to a thin PCB. There are what look like diodes and what I would guess are current limiting resistors on the board also, so good luck trying to have (...)

I think what you're looking for is the MIT handy board. Take a look at (URL) is a 68HC11 Micro controller with expansion boards, servo outputs, digital outputs, lot's of neat stuff. An assembled and tested handy board is about $299. There is a (...) (26 years ago, 11-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Yes. Of course. Those are the best ones. LED's are basically just Diodes that make light. So you can "Twist" two LED's together to get one on each polarity. Like I was saying above, my favorites are the tri-coloured LEDs... Dean -- Coin-Op's (...) (26 years ago, 10-Oct-00, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
