Lego Challenge 3: Joystick Remote Control

[azerrlight]

send me the programs plz?

[azerrlight]

what programs did you use please?

[ghostinside]

I used the DX9 SDK to talk to the joystick

The Mindsqualls C# API to talk to the NXT over bluetooth, and a very simple NXT program that translates the mindsqualls signals into motor commands. But keep in mind that lag is nasty and I wouldn't recommend this setup. I've seen somebody use a PS2 bluetooth controller to drive an NXT, and it looked like it's performance was WAY better.

yea the pspnx add onn/ sensor for nxt allows you to control a nxt with a ps2 controller

[Oxigen]

haha thats obviously fake ¬_¬

[DigitalySurreal]

Faked, but still pretty cool.

[ghostinside]

Actually, it's not a fake. Faking something like that would take WAY longer to orchestrate than actually doing it.

[sljee]

and WHY would it be fake?

[hutadut]

ur fake

[Fox2in]

it is not real :) that is why the one who made this video isn't responsing your reply, anyway, he says it is Remote Control so how come there's a cable comes out of the Joystcik ? :) and the car doesn't turn as he move the joystick there's a delay of few seconds, but as the 2 guys below said, NICE :)

[ghostinside]

Sorry I haven't responded. (I got a lot of spam responses to this particular video so I started ignoring them.) Anyway, I assure you it's not a fake. The joystick talks to a C# program on the computer that sends a message via bluetooth to the NXT. Unfortunately, the NXT firmware injects a 100ms after every bluetooth communication. So the lag just keeps getting worse the longer you go.

the cable is to connect the joystick to the pc, which send instructions to the NXT. :)

Ok? :)

[gurban333]
