Thanks Steve, I had a block of code very smiler to that, some times the rotation continues beyond where I would like it to stop and you can see that this is trying to pull it back which it does do. I think maybe the issue is the way i am detecting the event i guess its too slow, so I have this now, ...

Hi again, I would like to know your thoughts on the best way to control a motor with a a light sensor. What I am trying to do is run a motor at full power and when an event occurs a light sensor will read a hight value, at this point I want to stop the motor dead. I have tried a few techniques, one ...

I went for keeping the power on and it seems to work quite well

I have a mix of both the real thing and some 14mm beads for necklace making. eBay is where I got mine. orange and white. the colours are good enough for the colour sensor and they weight about the same

Wow, just found this looks amazing, vlove the use of a mix, not just NXT, well done

If you have any of the old style friction pins that you don't use in models any more they will work very well as well, better than ripping your fingers apart every time you need to take something apart

Hi all, I need some advice on the best way to code a grabber. What i have now is this void RotateMotorRURD(byte output, char pwr, long angle) { long l1, l2, l3; char power = sign(angle); angle = abs(angle); power *= pwr; l1 = angle*0.20; l2 = angle*0.60; l3 = angle-(l1+l2); // we want to rotate a to...

Thanks so much for taking the time to revisit this

John, thanks for the pointer, I had been running the firmware for a while but never worked out how to the the built in debugging features. I can get the code to break but am struggling to find a way to display the value of variables. I can see the watch brick functions and guess that there is a mapp...

HI all, I posted the following over at eurobricks and was pointed in the direction of this forum, can anyone help please? Hi, I have been trying to download the debugger provided here http://www.sorosy.co...dbg/index.phtml But the link does not seem to work, any one have this file or a like to a mir...
