 | | Spybot studies: seek a world object —Brian B. Alano

| | | /* beacon.nqc Uses World Relation Table to get a fix on and drive to another object. The object can be a Spybot, PC, or Spybot Controller. The program fixes on (i.e. drives to) the first object it finds. If that object disappears from the "radar", (...) (21 years ago, 10-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

You might be able to use PointToward_Bead without running into problems. __nolist void PointToward_Bead(const int& nTimes) { asm { 0xe3, &nTimes, 0x17, 81, 0x01, 1 }; } This ROM routine monitors an (...)

| | | | | | (...) Or, then again, you might not. As with the vast majority of the ROM subroutines (and all the _Bead subroutines) this subroutine fiddles around with a global variable (via calls to EnterBead and ExitBead). In this case it happens to be global (...) (21 years ago, 10-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

| | | | (...) Well We are trying to get Spybotics following an IR emitting Ball.. This ball will be emitting the same data as the Controller does on blinking mode.. But somehow the program above (as said before) Will not work propperly and send the spybot (...) (19 years ago, 25-Sep-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

This can be used as told above to determen if the beacon is in front of the spybot.. Or behind the (...) (19 years ago, 1-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

| | | | | Hi Daniel, I can't really help you all that much, but some thoughts on my own experiments regarding the use of direction/range with the Spybot. I have found the direction readings to be very poor when the object is in zones there or anywhere. Once (...) (19 years ago, 4-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

|
| | | | (...) There was a bug in the code generated by NQC for the find opcode prior to version 3.1r2. If you are using a version of NQC older than 3.1r2 then that *might* explain why Brian's beacon.nqc program fails to work sometimes. I will try to find a (...)

| | | | | (...) I have found a copy of the MindScript code for the default program (sort of) and I have ported it to NQC. Here's the default program in MindScript: program SpybotDefaultProgram { main { start 0 } } And here is its NQC equivalent: #pragma (...) (19 years ago, 13-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

|
| | | | | | (...) I spent some time recently working on NQC headers which would enable using more (if not all) of the Spybot ROM subroutines and tasks with a NQC program. I haven't done extensive testing of the headers in real programs. I hope there are still a (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

I am reading the direction to another spybot/beacon and putting it through a simple least squares adjustment. I find over short distance (HERE (...)

If there is no target, or if the target is in the Anywahere zone, the bead exits (...) (19 years ago, 18-Oct-05, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
