Hi, I am a newbe to lugnet so please forgive me for verboseness and the cross post to the two groups, but my request seems to be across both. My son has been using a scout & microscout in combination for 3 motor robots for some time, using the scout (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-02, to lugnet.robotics.vll, lugnet.robotics.scout)

At the risk of being flamed for "me too"ism.. I bought an RDS in mid-2000 while on business in the US (honest!), for my 7,10 + 12 year old's to get the hang of simple programming. I then grabbed NQC and downloaded the Scout SDK (before TLC removed (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

dunno if TLC pays attention to this newsgroup, but i'm with you. bought the Robotics Discovery Set for my 7 year old nephew. i specifically wanted one he could use without having to fire up the PC, or learning how to program on the PC. plenty of (...)

Does anyone know what TLC's plans are with respect to Scout? Why are they discontinuing the 9735 Robotics Discovery Set? Are they killing Scout? Will they continue to support it? I just bought one for my 7 year old last year and he loves it. He's (...) (24 years ago, 11-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics.scout)

| | Re: How to read the touch sensors on the Scout in NQC?
|
|
I was using my scout this past weekend as a coinbox detector to launch a mono rail. The touch sensors work exactly as Dave suggests. You can also just do the following: until(SENSOR_1); Waits until it's touched. until(!SENSOR_1); Waits until the (...) (24 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

(...) That is what I thought, but it will determine if the touch sensor is pressed. (...) Dunno, I'll try. Then again, if !=255 works... (...) If it were not for Perl I'd never write a line of code ^_^ (24 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

This program turns on motor A and leaves it running until a touch sensor attached to input 1 is pressed, then it turns off the motor and plays a sound: task main() { On(OUT_A); until(SENSOR_1 == 1); Off(OUT_A); PlaySound(SOUND_UP); } Dave (...)

Hi Chris, (...) this is a bit crazy, unless your sensor value is a bit pattern. (...) This is sensible, but are you sure it's ok to use equality and not inequalities like SensorValueRaw(1) < 240? (...) but it's equivalent, also in C, where & is (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)

I've sort of solved my problem, but not in a way which really makes total sense. Both of the below fragments work as expectd: #1 if ((SensorValueRaw(1) & SensorValueRaw(0)) != 255) #2 if ((SensorValueRaw(1) != 255) || (SensorValueRaw(0) != 255)) (...)
