Bonaparte's music video made out of Lego Mindstorms.

Hi, Bonaparte is a german rock/electronic musician who asked to Jul & Mat (French directors and friends of mine) to make a short music video. So during one month I've built and program robotic installation shown here. I use 10 Lego motors (NXT and old ones), 3 NXT and 2 Hitechnic SuperPro Boards...

Re: NXT-G GUI behaving weird as code gets longer

On my side I use NXT-G and I'm very happy with it, in fact I don't like to write code and don't understand much to syntax. As it was already said,if you follow these rules you should not have much problem: http://www.teamhassenplug.org/NXT/ You use all NXT memory by using NXT-G? without using your o...

Re: NXT enhanced firmware

Thanks John.

No problem for command module. My music programs make things one by one to get best time accuracy.

Re: NXT enhanced firmware

It's christmas again !!! Gus send me new NXT-G block with fast I2C support when using your firmware. Gus said it took 2,4 ms instead of 10ms what is the best new of the week! it changes many of my views for my next music machine. That's very cool!

Re: NXT enhanced firmware

John,

yes, NXT-G I2C block seems restricted to (1-4). I would really like to create my own blocks, I will have a look to this subject soon.
BTW Gus already helped me, and Hitechnic add a restart wave function to Superpro board firmware and NXT-G block, I received it yesterday.

Peter.

Re: NXT enhanced firmware

Thanks John, well, I have read your answer several times but I didn't understand a lot. I just begin to use I2C, I read Mindsensor Touch Panel values with NXT-G I2C block but that's all. At first I don't understand what means 0x08, I take a look to Superproboards i2C adress document and adress look ...

Re: NXT enhanced firmware

Hi John,

one more time you made a good work.
What about Fast I2C? it seems, we cannot access this function with NXT-G only, isn't it ?

Re: NXT-G, NXC, I2C..What to use to make fastest operations?

Thanks John, I've mailed to HT yesterday too. Yes, what you say is exactly what I felt. I tried it again with all different waveform modes (DC, PWM, ....) but it doesn't change anything. I just understood the good point about "no-reset" : sound does not click when changing tone. In fact fr...
