Hi all, Can you tell what's actually being written? message-ezgif.com-optimize.gif And I made a mistake, can you spot it? :D Rubem ----------------------------------------- Google Translate Hallo zusammen, könnt ihr erkennen, was da eigentlich steht?

Hi everyone, I've just added a short video showing my robot in action: https://youtu.be/a_gS-zOeSbU Best, Rubem ------------------------------------- Google Translate Hallo zusammen, ich habe gerade ein kurzes Video hinzugefügt, das meinen Roboter in Aktion zeigt: https://youtu.be/a_gS-zOeSbU Viele ...

Congrats / Herzlichen Glückwunsch,

Hi, Just a quick note to let you know about the current state of things. I've built all models from Super Trucks, except the truck with trailer. Here's the model I want to retrofit, the crane truck (Autokran): crane truck.jpg At 78 x 19 x 26, however, it's way too big to fit inside my currently avai...

Hallo / Hi Florian, Just my 2 cents to the discussion: If you don't mind using "foreign" components, maybe a solenoid like the one I used in my pinball table would do the trick. :?: IMG_20260503_161648.jpg They are easily integrated with ft using double-sided tape and a 15x30x5 building block. It ne...

Hello all, Here's the articulated truck: Articulated truck.jpg The model travels quite fast, because despite it being around 50 cm long, the semi-trailer is quite lightweight. The total length is around 66 cm. But operating in reverse via the remote does not quite work: the angle between the tractor...

Hi Jan,

Hats off, this project looks amazing... As always

Congratulations,

Rubem

Hi Florian, Thanks you so much for your kind comments. Sure, I'll be adding more pictures and a video to show the RC in action, probably after I build some of the more advanced models. As for the TXT, to me it is a double-edged sword. I like the seamless mechanical integration, of course (although t...

Hi all, I was lucky enough to find an (almost) unused Super Trucks kit for a bargain. I added the standard motorization options to it which consist of a 8:1 power motor with differential as the main drive and a S-motor with a cogged track rod 38472 and a switch as a center stop for the steering, plu...

Hallo / Hi Rudi, I loved your Heron's turbine model, so I built a copy... just to find out the pressure from a single compressor (I only have one) was not enough to move anything: lots of air escapes between the fixed T-piece and the valve-hose connector. I solved the problem by adding a small piece...

Hi everyone, @ft-ninja, your solution worked brilliantly! I learned some "new" things in the process, among them a little bit about scp/ssh and how to run a Python command in the TXT4. WinSCP is not needed to upload the files anymore, I wrote a tasks.json to do it and run the code (with the help of ...

Hi ft-ninja,

Thanks a lot for your answer, looks promising! I'll try to find some leisure time this week, otherwise I'll certainly look into it during the weekend. I'll let you know via this thread.

Thanks again,

Rubem

Hello Holger + Vleeuwen, @Vleeuwen, I've already seen your post some days ago but it seems me that you are trying to run VSCode on the TXT (please correct me if I got it wrong), which should be quite interesting but it's not what I'm trying to accomplish. 260112_173538.png Here is a reduced screen o...

Hallo zusammen, Auch wenn ich mich hier wiederhole , bin ich immer noch der Meinung, dass fischertechnik keinen guten Workflow für Entwickler bietet. Grafische Programmierung ist zwar interessant, wird aber schnell umständlich und kann nicht alles. Deshalb versuche ich mich gerade an Python, aber RO...

(Deutsche Übersetzung im nächsten Beitrag) Hi everyone, At the risk of being ultra-repetitive , I still think that fischertechnik does not provide a good workflow for developers at all. Graphic programming is interesting, but starts to become cumbersome very quickly and cannot do everything. So I'm ...

Hi Stefan, Thanks for the compliments! About the ft-pedia article, I agree that the subject is interesting enough to warrant an article. Maybe I can find some time to write it after the holidays, let's see. I appreciate the invitation. I forgot one important detail: When a motor is de-energized, the...
