But you mean ALL regulation functions? These functions call the "setoutput" and it has regulation parameter. So, what can i do with setoutput and it's regulation parameter? Well, I'm not really an expert, but yes, I think ALL regulation functions. As far as I understand it, the PID contro...

Do you have the enhanced NBC/NXC firmware loaded on your NXT? I believe all the regulation functions need it.

Certainly don't give up! Here's some miscellaneous advice, which may or may not help you: Small things: - Tell us what this code does when you run it. It will help anyone trying to advise you. - Indent your code. It's a lot easier to see what's going on: - Comment your code. Same reason. I've put a ...

that's fine, thank you! How did you make the printer "print" the website? Copy and Paste? Or print menu of the browser and then choose the pdf printer to print/save? The latter. Install Cute PDF Writer Go to webpage Firefox | File | Print Select 'Cute PDF Writer' as the printer. 'OK' You ...

Hmmmm..... so it does. It seems the word doc is just linking to the pictures. I assumed it would include them in the file. Print-to-pdf applications will work for any windows app; they 'pretend' to be a printer driver, so that you can select them just as you would choose a different printer, but the...

Works for me... Firefox: File | Save As [web page, complete] Open .htm file in Word. Pictures are present. Save As [Word 97-2003 document *.doc] I've (hopefully) attached the file, but renamed to .txt as .doc isn't allowed. Hope this doesn't annoy anyone. Apologies if it does..... Ian. Windows 7 Pro...

Yeah, I did look at those cables, but they worked out quite expensive with shipping to the UK. I also considered making my own, but sourcing the bits, modifying the crimp tool and making cables seemed like a lot of time and effort which could be better spent building robots!

Just to bring this to a close, I'd like to thank you all for your suggestions, which, naturally, I completely ignored! :lol: I ended up buying assorted technic bits on ebay (gears, thin beams, long axles, bushes - all the stuff I seemed to run out of, plus some random bits that came with them) and a...

Presumably I'd need more sensors and motors first?

Funny you should mention pneumatics - My son was just given a (very old, possibly incomplete) technic set with some pneumatic bits. I've never used them, but I was wondering about incorporating them into mindstorms. I'll have to have a play with them when he's finished... I like your marble lifter -...
