 | | using rotation sensor
|
|
Most of you are aware of the speed of the robot often causes parity in distance via the feedback of rotation sensors because of inertia. In our experiment, even with a robot with moderate speed. The parity seems to often occur right at the beginning (...) (20 years ago, 30-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

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. (...)

(...) 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 (...) (20 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Robolab Motor Settings - ATTN. Dick Swan
|
|
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 (...) (20 years ago, 13-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

|

(...) 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, (...) (20 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. (...) (20 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) 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 (...)

Hi, I am contemplating if it is smart way to intercept un-welcoming signal to the RCX, such as the remote shutdown, etc. ---...--- -------- Best Regards, Elizabeth Mabrey (20 years ago, 2-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I found that either rotating a colour wheel in front of the sensor(with its distance LED off) in combination with a white light -or- using a coloured LED at a _very_ close distance works well; i.e. most materials give a marked response as long (...)
