(Almost) everything you wanted to know about arrays in ROBOTC but were afraid to ask. RoboDesigners have written up a quick explanation of how arrays work and help you visualise them. It has some ROBOTC specific code in it, but would probably work fine for most programming languages. Thanks for [...]
Laurens, over at Robot Square, has written an easy to follow Bluetooth tutorial for ROBOTC. So if you’re keen to do some remote controlling or other message passing but you’re not quite sure how to get started, then head on over: [LINK]. Turns out, it’s not nearly as hard as [...]
I don’t usually use graphs but when I do… Ever since I started writing my drivers back at the end of 2008, I would not have thought that I would now be almost at 6000 downloads. I was pouring over the stats and I noticed something quite cool. It is [...]
Two new drivers Support for two new sensors has been added this time: The Dexter Industries 3-axis Magnetic Compass Sensor (dCompass) Mindsensors Pressure Sensor (PPS58-Nx) Changelog * Added new driver + test programs for Dexter Industries dCompass (Driver name: DIMC) * Added new driver + test programs for the Mindsensors [...]
Now here’s a bargain you can’t refuse. The folks over at Robotics Academy have created an RCX-only version of ROBOTC 2.03 and made it available for everyone to download! For free, no less! That’s a lot of exclamation points! Ever since ROBOTC 2.02+ was released without RCX support, a lot [...]
Titus Woo posted on the ROBOTC forums about a really cool new program he’d written to make it easier for FTC teams to make a teleop program for their robot. I’ve never done FTC but I maintain the ROBOTC forums so I see a lot of question go by during [...]
More 3rd party 3rd party drivers Does a 3rd party 3rd party driver make it a 4th party? I’m not sure, you decide. In any case, my good man Gus at HiTechnic has provided a very nice driver for the new HiTechnic Super Pro Board. Thanks for that! I also [...]
I was working on an omniwheeled robot last night, trying some code that would ensure the vehicle would go straight even if the motors were not perfectly in sync. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a bit of a bug in the code which lead to some pretty erratic behaviour. So [...]
This is possibly the most annoying musical instrument in the world. My dogs weren’t all that impressed with it either. It’s like the Theremin from hell without any of the redeeming features. It is to music as ketchup is to pasta sauce. So it is not without some pride that [...]
Some boneheaded bugs fixed and a new driver Thanks to some very astute users of my suite, I have fixed a couple of stupid bugs in my IMU driver (this seems to be a recurring theme, it seems). A new sensor driver has also been added, this one was not [...]
