  Re: LEGOdometer
 
(...) Even with that explaination, I just can't seem to get the spacing and the gearing right between the dials. If you have the time, please, I would like a visual aid of the between walls and the between-dials gearing. When I first saw this, I (...)

  Re: NXT remote control by Power Functions handset
 
Hi Jürgen, (...) Yes, that should work, placing it in the converter. Current in the receiver used as a sensor is very low, so the voltage drop in the Schottky would be low too. Maybe it would need some trimming of resistors values. Philo (15 years ago, 8-Mar-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: NXT remote control by Power Functions handset
 
Hi Philippe (...) Nice idea! W.r.t. the warning against using an NXT to PF converter: You could try adding a Schottky diode in the power supply line to protect the 4.3V supply of the NXT against somebody connecting 9V. The question is whether it (...) (15 years ago, 7-Mar-10, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I suppose they would get discouraged if they saw everything we can come up with. However, (...) (15 years ago, 21-Feb-10, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)
