HI,

I am building a robot ant and using a light sensor to detect lines to
follow. However, the algorithm I am using must not be deterministic; i.e. I
need to do a sensor sweep and build a graph of the relative light levels at
the left, front and right of the ant, then to use a weighted probability to
choose the direction - very like real ants with pheremone trails. Is it
possible to do a data log for the light sensor, then have the robot itself
do the calculation to determine the direction, rather than uploading and
post processing with Investigator? I am using a mac and robolab 2.5.

Ideally, I want the robot movement to be autonomous, as I will be using the
IR channel for other communications with different ants, food, nest etc.

Thanks

(...) Hi Mike, Unfortunately there is no possibility under Robolab 2.5 that the RCX might itself access the data collected in the log. Robolab 2.5 is based on LEGO-firmware 2.0, which has many new features, but not this one. If you want to do your (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
