  Re: Define Event icon...
 
(...) The condition of being equal to 3 is not an event. However, the action of transitioning to 3 is. I'd use the "set up normal event" command followed by the "define event" command. Set the upper threshold to 4, the lower to 2, and the duration (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: questions on events
 
(...) See previous post for the "I-don't-actually-do-Robolab" disclaimer, but, since Robolab & NQC both work on the same firmware... You can monitor multiple events, but only in *different* tasks. In other words, (to my knowledge) you can not "nest" (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: Define Event icon...
 
(...) I fear I became very frustrated with Robolab, so can't help you *specificly* with that enviroment, but... at a firmware level, events can "watch" several different sources: sensors, timers, three simple counters... however, they can not be (...)

  Re: Define Event icon...
 
(...) Elizabeth, you are a few steps ahead of me in working with 'Events'. Could you explain, in plain English, what exactly an 'Event' is? ...it's not a 'State' because it can be a constant or a variable. Yet you can have an 'Event Fork' which is (...)

  Define Event icon...
 
Hi I'd like to set up an event to watch for a containers value = 3. I am trying to use the "Define Event" icon, but has no luck yet. Just wonder if there is anyone out there has suggestion. The official doc does not explain much different from what (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  questions on events
 
Are events stackable? Or it works more like "signal()", e.g. in C? e.g. I have 2 different light sensor events set to watch for value higher than 42, yellow & blue. Let say both sensors read 45 at the same time, RCX returns only one event being (...) (21 years ago, 2-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

  Re: Latest Version of ROBOLAB
 
(...) Thanks Elizabeth. Another possibility: In 2.5.4B, could it be 'B' for beta? Jerry (21 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  RE: Latest Version of ROBOLAB
 
Jerry, I purchased the "B" from the lego site, www.legoeducation.com . I was asking for the difference between the 2.5.4 & 2.5.4B as well, but have not received response yet. Anyone? -- E (...) (21 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Latest Version of ROBOLAB
 
Elizabeth Mabrey, in her last post, referenced ROBOLAB 2.5.4B. I have just procured a copy from my Spectrum (distributor in Canada) but it is 2.5.4 (without the 'B'). Do I not have an up-to-date copy? ...or, is there a download for 'B' somewhere? (...) (21 years ago, 24-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  follow up: possible bug in the investigator of Robolab2.5.4B
 
I thought I should do a follow-up regarding a posting I sent out earlier regarding problem in investigator /Robolab2.5.4B. A gentleman, Bernard Catt ,verified a bug for me: If you use the Blue or Yellow data sets, the following will happen: (...) (...) (21 years ago, 23-Dec-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  RE: Problem with the new robolab2.5.4
 
Sorry, I think I need to clarify further... - This is in the "Investigator" section, NOT the regular program area. - after I click on the big "upload" arrow, I changed the dataset name to, e.g., "ds1", but there is no graph. - I click on the "upload (...)

  Problem with the new robolab2.5.4
 
I wonder if there is anyone has a chance playing with the investigator with the 2.5.4/B. It seems to be a bug: Symptom: 1) after doing the programming in level 4, do to the upload data window by clicking the "upload area" icon 2) click the big white (...)

  Re: Robolab/RCX program code size and limits.
 
(...) I know that the Bricx Command Center (available at (URL) contains an entry under the "Tools" menu called "Memory Map" that lists, among other things, how much free memory there is. I imagine that you could use this to compare the size of (...) (21 years ago, 16-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Book reviews of this?
 
Does anyone have any experience with this text? (URL) seems like a good text for the basics on up (and the "teaser" looks good), but I'd like to have some first-person accounts. (21 years ago, 7-Nov-04, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Robolab/RCX program code size and limits.
 
Hi, I'm using Robolab 2.5.3 and RCS firmware revision 03.01 03.28. I have a couple of questions: - I want to demonstrate the difference in code size between a program written using subroutines versus a program written using subVi's. How do I (...)

  Motor power levels, floats and the LCD
 
Hi We just started using RCX and Robolab for a university course in cognitive systems. Our first lab was to navigate a maze using no sensors (internal representation only). The worst problem is inconsistent results given consistent power to the (...) (22 years ago, 3-Oct-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, FTX)
 
  Re: Understanding Event Register Container
 
(...) I got clarification from Tufts University: The text "Variable 0 = 0" should have read "Variable 0 = Event Register". * Variable 0 is the Red Container * = 0 is sort of a typo I believe a change from "= 0" to "Event Register" will be in the (...)

  Waiting for more than one event
 
What is the best way of waiting for more than one type of event? I want to turn on a motor and run it for 5 seconds or until the tough sensor is pressed, whichever comes first. This seems like such a basic problem that I'm quite sure there must be a (...) (22 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
