LEGO pneumatic cylinder modified for optimal air flow techbricks - 182 views - 1 week ago
http://www.Techbricks.nl shows in this video the difference in performance between an original LEGO pneumatic cylinder and a cylinder that is optimized for optimal air flow. The inlet/outlet holes of the cylinder are drilled up to 2 mm with the result that the piston can move much faster. Check my web page about LEGO pneumatic engine (LPE) for more info: http://www.techbricks.nl/My-pn eumatic-LEGO-projects/lego-pne umatic-engine-lpe-3-cylinder-i nline.html

LEGO Pneumatic Engine (LPE) 3 cylinder inline - Techbricks.nl techbricks - 261 views - 1 week ago
http://www.techbricks.nl rebuild a LEGO Pneumatic Engine 3 cylinder inline (LPE). This design was original made by LPEpower.com, but it is not a exact copy. Several changes were made . This video is made after I modified pneumatic cylinders and pneumatic switches. The switch now can move with much less friction and the switches and cylinders now have 2mm diameter inlets/outlets to let the air flow fast enough. Check my site to learn more about the problems I had to overcome for this model to rebuild and to get it run fast: http://www.techbricks.nl/My-pn eumatic-LEGO-projects/lego-pne umatic-engine-lpe-3-cylinder-i nline.html

Segway NXTway-Gyro self-balancing NXT robot with remote PSP joystick control / NXTway-g techbricks - 1,707 views - 2 months ago
http://www.techbricks.nl build a NXTway-Gyro (or NXTway-g) Segway self-balancing LEGO NXT Mindstorms robot with Mindsensors remote PSP controller and a Hitechnic gyro sensor with NXC software based on JanB's program. (Segway PT is a two-wheeled electric vehicle invented by Dean Kamen). The bot is able to run over a tilt surface and it is controlled very smooth.
A very small NXC program is keeping the bot upricht by doing the following tasks:
- determine the gyro bias, because every gyro sensor can be influenced by temperature and manufacturing tolerances.
- read out the Sony PSP joystick using the Mindsensors PSP-Nx-v3 controller.
- the body tilt controller prevents the robot from falling over.
- the position controller prevents the robot from driving away.
- the gyro drift compensation allows the robot to balance for long time.
- set the friction compensation.
Ryo Watanabe (NXTway-G), Ramin (Self balancing bot), Yorihisa Yamamoto (NXTway-GS) and Engscope (Jegway) programmed there NXT segway in some kind of C language (RobotC or lejos), but I wanted to run my program in NXC (because it is free!).
If you have a NXT Mindstorms set (9797-1, 8527-1 or 8547-1) and you buy a gyro sensor at Hitechnic you can build this bot. If you want to control it using PS2 joystick, you need of course a Mindsensors PSP controller.
Please check for instructions, software download and more info about the programs: http://www.techbricks.nl/My-NX T-projects/nxt-self-balancing- segway-nxtway-robot.html

Techbricks.nl pneumatic LEGO switch motorized by a NXT motor controlled by NXT with worm gearing techbricks - 657 views - 6 months ago
http://www.techbricks.nl build a LEGO pneumatic switch controlled by a mindstorms NXT and motorized with a NXT motor with worm gearing. An electric switch (touch sensor) determine the center position of the pneumatic switch. The NXT-G demo program first determine the left and right positions of the electric switch and then go to the center position of the pneumatic switch. Ones the center is reached the demo program will demonstrate how to open the left and right output of the pneumatic switch and then return to the center.

Sorry Pokeprime, but I am not sure what you mean. If you have Mindstorms NXC files that you want to share, please send me a email and attach your files. If you want NXC files of one of my NXT projects, please go to my http://www.techbricks.nl site.
