  Re: Interesting Mindscript Bits
 
In the same vein, "C:\Program Files\LEGO Software\Products\Sp...nCore.lif" contains (after a binary header) the sourcecode of spybot program for mission "***mission_name***". For example, Critical Countdown mission program begins as : "{ //Critical (...) (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Interesting Mindscript Bits
 
For those of you that have the Spybotics CD installed on your PC, have a peek here... "Program Files\LEGO Software\Products\Sp...s\Include" Interesting huh? Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 3-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Spybot speed motor control
 
I really love spybot speed motor control ! A little NQC test program : task main() { int x; SetLED(LED_MODE_BLINK, 0); OnFwd (OUT_A+OUT_B); //Progressive acceleration for (x=0; x<8; x++) { SetPower (OUT_A+OUT_B,x); SetLED(LED_MODE_ON, x); Wait(100); (...)

  Re: Spybotics vs Cricket
 
(...) So with this, it it possible to use the same type of 'proximity' that can be done with the RCX/Light sensor? (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Spybotics vs Cricket
 
(...) I totally agree... The three IR emitters seems to be IR leds with a very wide viewing angle (this kind of package with a flat top can emit on 120°) so a Spybot can be IR-seen all around Philo (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Spybotics vs Cricket
 
(...) I may definitely be confused. I was looking at the Spybot.h header recently and saw this: const iDirection = 4 //world & target (R/O) const cLeft = 0 //world[nBot,iDirection] & target[iDirection] values const cLeftOfCentre = 1 //here zone only (...)

  RE: Spybotics vs Cricket
 
(...) John, I think you may be confused about the IR detectors. There are only two and they are facing forwards. The 2 white parts facing forward and the white part facing backwards are low power IR emitters.... Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics)
 
  RE: Default Programs
 
John, Thanks for this...I figured it was buried somewhere in there but I caould not find it. Cheers, Ralph (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Re: Default Programs
 
(...) Buried in the readme file: 5L. USING THE SPYBOTICS BUILT-IN PROGRAM The built-in program in your Spybot works as follows: The built-in program scans the LEDs a couple of times while playing a short tune, prior to starting to move around. When (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  RE: Programming multiple controllers
 
LEGO said (althow I haven't tried it) that all the IR controllers were compatable. That would mean not only Mana, but also the RC Nitro Flash, which also has three channels. So you can have a Spybot battle a Mana AND a Nitro flash... Steve ----- (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Spybotics Comms
 
As anyone already tried, using LASM, MindScript or NQC, to program a Spybot and explore it's comms capabilities ? ...be it with a Manas or with a RCX/Scout ? Anyone tried the VLL output and input feature ? thxs, mc. (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

  Re: Default Programs
 
Hi Ralph, I've tried the default program on my Gigamesh yesterday... Describing this with words is difficult ! The basic behaviour seems indeed to wander about, but things gets more interesting when you put your remote to "action" mode and press (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)

Hey, Tonite I received the TechnoJaw by mail, so with a little fanfare and hoopla, I put it together. After a few test programs and such, I decided it was time for a head-to-head competition between Big G and TechnoJaw (nickname-to-be-announced) (...)

  Default Programs
 
All, The default programs for the Spybots can be downloaded from the Spybot Status Screen. I have two questions... 1. Are they different for each Spybot? 2. Can anyone describe the default program in words? To me, it looks like the Spybot is (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Preliminary BricxCC Spybotic support

So far BricxCC can compile and download programs to the (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  RE: Firmware
 
(...) As far as I know, the EEPROM on the chip is a small space where the bytecodes live. The RAM for data is in a different place on the chip. The RCX was unique in that the uploaded firmware and data RAM were in the same external chip. The Spybots (...) (22 years ago, 29-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics.spybotics)
 
  Firmware
 
Does anyone know (for sure) if the firmware on the spybotics can be replaced? I assume that having the programs in eprom (or whatever it is) means the firmware is in the same long-term-memory type of place, so the firmware is pre-loaded. Can anyone (...)

  Re: gigamesh problem

Playing with Big G all weekend :) I noticed that when you first turn on Gigamesh and use the remote right off, it will go backwards when you press the forwards button, then about 1 second later, it will go forwards (after it's done all it's (...)
