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)

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?

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)) (...)

All, I'm feeling pretty stupid right about now. I've read the NQC docs, looked in the newsgroups, books, etc, but I can't seem to figure out how to read the touch sensors on my Scout. I want to implement a bumper checking task but no matter how I (...) (24 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics.scout)
