Hi all,

I have just bought the NXT kit and I'm very happy to play with it!

So I'm a newbie but I have some programming esperience and I like to use RobotC because I don't like very much the NXT-G style.

The question is: if you install the robotC firmware on the NXT brick then you can choose between RobotC and NXT-G or you can you use only rototC?

Many thanks.

Andrea

You are able to use both, but before you use the software you must download the firmware that is associated with that software. In other words, if you want to use ROBOTC, you must download the ROBOTC firmware to the robot. If you want to use NXT-G, you must download the NXT-G firmware to the robot.

Ok thanks it is a bit boring but I can do it

Now I uploaded the RobotC firmware on the brick because I'd like to test the enviroment...it seems very nice, but with NTX-G is possible to control the motor by rotation, degree, and second. Is it possible to to the same with RobotC? (I hope I can ask it here).

Thanks

Andrea

For timing you can either use the wait1Msec(); command, or use an actual timer.



As far as specifying distance, you can use the returned values from SensorValue[encoderName] to check your conditions.

Specific amount of rotation can be controled using nMotorEncoderTarget variable, like this :

Thanks!

Very nice....I like very much robotc but I have a lot of problem if I change the sensor ports.
I do it by the gui but sometime doesn't work, or maybe I don't know how to do exactly.

Thanks a lot

Hi Andrea

One thing RobotC has is a Motor and Sensors Setup wizard, it lets you set up the sensors for different ports and automatically puts the data into a header at the top of the program. You can then refer to the sensors depending on what you named the sensors in the wizard

Try it out, it is located under the robot menu at the top of the screen.
