changing the pitch of a tone in accordance to distance help

Airkraft-NXT — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 13:41:33 GMT

I am currently working on a project where my robot needs to be able to produce a tone that changes pitch according to the distance it is from an object.

Attached is a picture of part of the programming. However, I dont think this is right. For I only get two pitches: high or low. If anyone can tell me how to use data wires, or if there is another method of changing the pitch in accordance to distance, the I would be extremely gratefull.

Need some advise on my creation

sk8terboy242 — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:37:14 GMT

Hi guyz,

I need some help for my device. Right now i am working on a tank using NXT sets and snow mobile technic set for the tracks. The device move very slow. I mean extremely slow like moving 20cm over 5 secs. Is there anyway to make it move faster without losing the climbing ability? like replacing the motor or any self mod thingy? I want it to be able to climb like 5 cm height. For your info, im using 1:1 gear ratio and the device now is capable to climb almost anything as long it won't ...

Video With No Info - NXT Dot Matrix Printer Maybe?

Airkraft-NXT — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 13:21:58 GMT

I have just watched a video where a nxt robot creates a drawing using a

dot matrix style printing method. there is no description as such and

the name of the video is just "Lego Mindstorm".

you can watch the video on my Blog at:

http://www.airkraft-nxt.blogspot.com

I wonder Who made it and why they didnt think it was necessary to add a description.

Yours "wonderingly"

Website Design Software

Airkraft-NXT — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 20:09:39 GMT

When i made this website, i used Macromedia Dreaweaver. However, when i first started, i used Microsoft Front Page. but this was crap!

To make my banners and pictures i use the freeware software Paint.NET, because i didnt have Macromedia Fireworks or Photoshop. but i think this software is great and works just as well as any other. I DEFINATLY reccomend this.

I just wanted to know what other software people use to make their websites, or what they use to make their banners and pictures.

Web Hosting

Airkraft-NXT — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 20:11:08 GMT

Soon I will be changing my LEGO Mindstorms NXT website to http: //www.airkraft-nxt.com

and not use freewebs anymore.

But before I do I will need a web hoster to host my site.

I didnt want to use the PREMIUM Site hoster that freewebs offers, because i think the price is unreasonable.

I also wanted to use a British site, that is payed for in Pounds not Dollars.

I have found a few that offer sites, domains and emails for under �100 per year, such as:
