  Re: Bugs in RoboLab?
 
I thought I would pass on what I have learned. Robolab sends very different code to the RCX than you might assume. For example, "Wait for Rotation" will always clear the rotation sensor first! There are a number of other anomalies, such as the (...) (25 years ago, 30-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Bugs in RoboLab?
 
I am pretty certain I have found a bug in RoboLab. The behavior is reversal of output A. Has anyone experienced behavior from RoboLab that they are certain is not a programming error? Is there any patch or known bug list? Very frustrating. --Jack (...) (25 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Float?
 
Yes. Install the "extras" from the "project" menu. You will then get a yellow stop sign, which floats the motors instead of brakeing them. Wire in the ports to be floated. -Peter Coach, FLL Team #1096: The Unibots "J G Gregory" <jgg@ultranet.com> (...) (25 years ago, 17-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Float?
 
Is it possible to set motors to "float" instead of "brake" in RoboLab? --Jack Gregory (25 years ago, 16-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: ROBOLAB Constructopedia question
 
Yes there is a constructopedia for RL. It is included in the Team Challenge building set, not the activity pack. The activity packs are sets of activities to implement in the classroom. The building sets either include step-by-step building (...) (25 years ago, 30-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

(...) biggest (...) There is a Constuctopedia for ROBOLAB? As far as I can see in the Pitsco- Dacta Catalog (c. 2000) ROBOLAB sets have "Activity Packs" which are similar to Constructopedias. I have the Teacher Notes for both the ROBOLAB Starter (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  ROBOLAB Constructopedia question
 
Can someone with the ROBOLAB Constructopedia tell me if the Acrobot is in there? The Acrobot is in the Mindstorms Constructopedia 1.0 and again in the Mindstorms Constructopedia 1.5 slightly modified. It uses all 4 of the biggest wheels and can flip (...)

  Re: Minor bug in DCP sound sensor support
 
Yeah, I noticed this in China at one of the first workshops there... and of course I hadn't tested the demo beforehand, so I had to quickly rewrite it with forks. This was back around April 15. (URL) :) -Ben (...) (26 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Caution when using DCP container constructs
 
In Robolab 2.0 the eight DCP container constructs store the raw value of the sensor. This means the value stored is not in rotations, volts, dB, etc. but in a raw measurement of these values. This raw value cannot be easily used with other Robolab (...) (26 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Minor bug in DCP sound sensor support
 
Robolab 2.0 and 2.01 programmer extras has a bug in the DCP sound sensor construct "Wait for increasing sound". This construct sets the sensor type to touch when it should set the sensor type to light. The other sound sensor constructs "Wait for (...) (26 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  internet project, anyone?
 
I'm working on an internet communication project that requires both parties to have ROBOLAB 2.01 and the Technic 8094. (i can get you robolab 2.01 if you need it) If you are interested in trying this out with me, let me know... i realize this is a (...)

  Re: New firmware and ROBOLAB
 
Found and reported a minor bug in sound generation using either Robolab 2.0 or 2.1. The bug does not happen with ROM 0309 but happens on 0326. If using two PLAY ANY NOTES in a row, a third very low tone is emitted. If a WAIT FOR is placed between (...) (26 years ago, 11-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

  New firmware and ROBOLAB
 
Hi, LEGO has got a new firmware version for the RCX. (URL) is still alpha, but I want to know if firm0326.lgo runs with ROBOLAB. Ralf (26 years ago, 8-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

  Re: Robolab 2.0
 
I had the same problem with a single-user copy ordered in the UK. The Dacta catalogue had the wrong part number in it for RoboLab 2.0. It said it was part # 2000050, but it should have been 2000051. I called the supplier and they sent version 2.0 (...) (26 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

Agghh.. Our school just ordered RoboLab (site license) from Pittsco, received it April 2nd, and IT'S ONLY 1.5 !!!!! What did we do wrong?? Can we upgrade / exchange this?? Exactly what do we need to order to get 2.0?? I was depending on the 2.0 (...) (26 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
