  dll and the USB tower
 
Hi, I downloaded brickOS 0.2.6 and patched it to use the USB tower. All works well (firmdl3 is patched correctly, the module goes in, I can make my own .lx files), except for dll. When I try to download a .lx file into the RCX, dll hangs. The LED (...) (22 years ago, 13-Feb-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

  Re: measure distance traveled
 
(...) I'd use a dual differential drive with (one motor fwd/rev, one motor turns) to ensure a straight line of travel and the a rotation sensor to measure the wheel rotations.

  Re: measure distance traveled
 
I'm not a professional or anything, but your idea could run into the robot pulling to one side, and not going the exact 1 meter. if you had two rotation sensors (not exactly RPM sensors), the error would be greatly reduced in both the distance and (...)

Hi all, I'm a CS student and I have to complete a practical assignment in which a robot has to drive 1 meter straight forward, make a 90 degrees turn and then drive another meter (course administrators will also place obstacles which have to be (...)

  H8300 Cross Compiler for Mac OS X (a start ...)
 
With access to a Mac OS X 10.2 this week I have made an attempt to build the cross compiler set under Mac OS X. Currently I have an issue with sysinfo.c with the binutils build.
