It works out of the b...

Thank you all for your replies, I apologise for my slow response, I have been very busy. doc-helmut: Yes I calibrated the compass several times, following the instructions on the hitechnics website. I wrote a program to rotate the bot 1.75 turns at a speed of about 40 seconds per turn whilst calibra...

Hey all I have a Hitechnics compass sensor. It is giving readings with errors up to 30*. For example: I place the bot on the ground and draw a parallel line against the side of it (parallel also with the sensor). Then I look at the reading on screen, and turn the bot around so it's lined up with the...

Thanks for clearing that up John. By the way, I bought your book and found it very helpful! Thanks.

Thanks for the information, Andy. I got LeJOS a couple of hours ago and have written have a functioning onboard controller. I am impressed, LeJOS is excellent, just what I was after!

Ah, thank you! Perfect answer. I am simply after a compiler/firmware with a rich language. Those sound great. Memory is not an issue for me as the planning/AI/number crunching will be done on my computer. All I need the onboard controller to do is carry out commands sent to it and feed back translat...

I just got an NXT recently and have just started programming in NXC. In the process of trying to code a queue to queue instructions that will be sent to the robot, I've run across some rather glaring limits on what can be expressed with this language. No pointers, and no arrays in structs are the fi...
