Re: STEERING Data Hub use with MOTOR Block (NXT-G 2.0)
Hi Steve, I'll test it again and fully verify what I see. The idea with it was to have it do a slow spiral. I'll change the steering value decrement to -5 so it reacts more quickly. When I first tested it, it was not doing a CURVE TURN, it was doing a POINT TURN (1 wheel forward & the other back...

Re: STEERING Data Hub use with MOTOR Block (NXT-G 2.0)
Hi, My feeling would be that the STEERING data-hub value should act in a similar fashion to adjusting the STEERING slider in the MOVE block. As you know, if the MOVE block is setup to control 2 motors, the STEERING slider will adjust the power to BOTH motors, not just one. The result is a CURVE TURN...

Re: STEERING Data Hub use with MOTOR Block (NXT-G 2.0)
Hi Tim, Don't think there is a timing issue here. The MOVE block is doing 5 rotations for each set STEERING value, so the block waits till it completes the 5 rotations before decrementing the STEERING value and MOVING again. In theory this should cause the bot to move in a spiral pattern with brief ...

STEERING Data Hub use with MOTOR Block (NXT-G 2.0)
Hi, I have a question about using the STEERING input data hub to the MOVE block (NXT-G 2.0). According to the docs it is supposed to take a value between -100 & 100 with values < 0 steering towards the LEFT motor and values > 0 steering towards the RIGHT motor. Since the normal STEERING slider i...
