I got tired of having a small program for each sensor, so I made a program that can give me data from the following sensors:
ColorlightSensor (lejos.nxt.ColorLightSensor)
Slightly modified version of the sample that comes with the lejos installation. Changed so it would fit in within my class.
The program has a menu that lets you choose which port you want to use and which kind of sensor you want to test. You can go back and choose a new port or sensor type when ever you want. I’m new to Java so if the code looks like a mess or you see a way it can be more efficient then drop me a comment, or feel free to change the code your self.
Firmware: Lejos version 0.85
Programmed using Java.
Lego Mindstorm NXT 2.0 flashed to use lejos 0.85. Made to never drive of a table and avoid obstacles. After it has been presented with 10 obstacles, either edges or something in its path it will lift it self up and shutdown. When starting it again it will lower itself and start running until it has encounter 10 obstacles. For all obstacles the ultrasonic/touchsensor picks up it will turn in a random direction. How much it turns is also random, but at least 30 degrees and not above 180 degrees.
Tower of Power presenterer nok en gang soul med “Capital S” Dette albumet har 4 gjesteartister som setter et varmt preg på skiva. Tom Jones, Joss Stone, Huey Lewis og Sam Moore. Jeg gjennomfører liveblogging mens jeg hører skiva for første gang. Tar for meg låt for låt.
Første låten du møter er “You Met Your Match” Funky låt fylt med Soul og koring. Syns ToP virker uforskammet fresh i denne låten. Gutta begynner tross alt å dra på årene. Alltid like fornøyelig å høre “Doc” spille sin baratonsax. Nevneverdige fenomen som oppstå under låten: Min venstrefot klappet min høyrefot under hele låten, la merke til det når jeg begynte og bli sliten i foten.
Andre låten du møter er “I Thank You (feat Tom jones)” Første som slo meg er at Tom jones har en stemme man kjenner igjen godt. Tom Jones virker som et friskt pust på vokal fronten sammen med Larry Braggs. Foten min fortsetter og bevege seg, hmm. Spasmer er gøy! Sitter med et smil på munnen og skriver under denne låten. Savner en mer markant “Doc” i låta, men så er jeg litt for glad i “the Doc bump”
Tredje låten du møter er “Loveland” Er vell en låt som trekker frem litt for mye klisje tilstander i mitt hode. ToP har som vanlig grooven og alt det der, men teksten og melodien er for meg litt dvask i forhold til kraftsalvene til blåserne som jeg elsker så godt. Syns ikke Larry passer som vokalist til slike låter. Det skal sies at ToP sine låter er stort sett “catchy” uansett. Read the rest of this entry »
Kort forklart hvorfor en håndduk er så viktig i hverdagen. Kopiert fra Towelday.org
From the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
A towel (…) is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value — you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-tohand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you — daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have “lost”. What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Hence a phrase which has passed into hitch hiking slang, as in “Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.” (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)
