 | | Rotation sensor limitation
|
|
I use a rotation sensor for a brick sorting machine – hence I need to know the limitation of the rotation sensor. What happens when the rotation sensor exceeds 9999 as shown on the LCD display? Apparently the rotation sensor can still keep track of (...) (20 years ago, 24-Oct-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) The preprocessor only evaluates expressions if they are used in a conditional preprocessor statement (i.e. #if), otherwise they are simply treated as a series of tokens for the compiler to deal with. However, the compiler does evaluate (...) (20 years ago, 17-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

| | NQC preprocessor behavior - constants evaluated?
|

Pardon a basic, low-level question, but I'm trying to minimize memory & execution time. Does the NQC preprocessor precalculate constant expressions before the compile pass? For instance: #define CONST 100 #define HALF CONST/2 task main() { int x,y; (...) (20 years ago, 16-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) You should check to make sure your light sensor is in fact changing more than 5 counts. Start by changing the above code to 2 or 3. I don't recall with NQC, but with some languages (BrickOS) the values are backwards, so you may need to check (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Well, actually, that code works fine (running MacNQC, a fairly recent version, with 2.0 firmware). One thing to check, code-wise, is to display SENSOR_1 on the LCD, and see what the numbers are (is it set to raw mode? Is the sensor bad (I've (...)

Hey all, I know I must be doing something very simple wrong here - but I can't for the life of me figure it out. What I'm trying to do: Have a light sensor pointed at a surface. Pass that value off to a variable (the variable then contains the (...) (20 years ago, 4-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

I did this in the past (since disassembled the bot) and found it to be quite reliable; except on slippery surfaces and carpet. :) The trick that I employed was to gear-up the rotation sensor. This causes the rotation sensor to detect even a slight (...) (20 years ago, 11-Jun-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
