Hi Everyone,
Our team is making progress and the latest slides have been uploaded as Lesson 3.
The slides detail how to make a Robot Drive and Turn in response to touch sensor input.
The slides also cover how to display text onto the NXT screen and dynamically locate the text.
Topics Covered:
- Case Structures with Boolean Inputs(default)
Using Flow Charts to Plot out Logic (to be updated)
Achieving Goal Specifications with Logical Event Handling
Sync Unlimited Motor Drive: Direction and Steering
"Missing Assignment to Tunnel" Errors and correction
Using the Case Logic Input Inside the Case Structure
Displaying Text on NXT Screen
String Concatenation
Text Location and Clearing
Numeric to String Conversion
Frame Rate and How it Relates to Human Vision
There is a tremendous amount of material to be covered and the slides are in the process of constantly being updated and formatted to improve clarity. If there is a particularly terrible section please let me know. There is a need to finish the training and a lot of the questions that come up in the training sessions are re-worked on the slides before posting but there isn’t always the time to do so. The target audience is a self-motivated inexperienced programmer.
Next Lesson is on Finite State Machines...
To Mohamed:
If you could provide more details on what isn’t working we can possibly help you get things working properly. Make sure that you have the correct versions of everything installed. National Instruments has really great tutorials and instructions for getting started.
Our team had significant challenges 2 years ago(my rookie year) with the FTC and FRC versions of Labview on the same computer. There is a proper install order that must be followed in order for the versions to co-exist. Perhaps the gentlemen from NI can post a link to the explanation of the proper install order.
Regards,
Brian
