Markus:

Thanks! I'm sending the devices today.

Markus:

Thank you for your message.

I'm going first to test the program by ski7777 and see how it works.

Then I'll consider returning the items.

What I don't know is whether the problem comes from the translation into English only or also exists on the German version.

I tried DayOfWeek, and it provides the day of the month.



So I guess Day provides the day of the week!

Dear Robert:

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, variables with different names give the same result.

Indeed, but the message for 0x50 and 0x54 addresses is new!

There is an additional glitch for February 29th, 2016.

EDIT Day displays seconds. February 29th is unknown. 29 is changed for 1!

Year returns day, Month returns year and Day returns month on RoboPro 4.2.3.

When using the IR remote with the Robotics TXT, and even with a new 9 V battery, the signal from the infra-red remote control isn’t continuous. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1704/25080689260_fb42c503dd.jpg A program as basic as the previous one fails to run the motor continuously.

When using the I2C function with an address on the 0x50~0x57 range for thr Robotics TXT, RoboPro complains. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1630/25080397790_db504b7d2b.jpg https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1474/25349824656_be37ed2ac2.jpg This message was intended at the RoboTX. However, it still appears...

Similar to the suggestion posted by @Laserman, why not to post on the manufacturer of the processor? Texas Instruments provides the ARM-Cortex A MPUs for both the Lego Mindstorms EV3 (AM1808) and the Robotics TXT (AM3352) controllers. Texas Instruments provided a wide coverage for the Lego controlle...

Hi! i'd like to provide three pointers and a suggestion. A similar project exists for the Lego EV3 controller, the EV3DEV . As TI Sitara MPUs power both Lego EV3 (AM1808) and fischertechnik Robotics TXT (AM3352) controllers, some code may be reused. ev3dev is a Debian Linux-based operating system th...

My initial post doesn't deserve such harsh comments.

The exclamation point I used expressed surprise.

The ft:c forum doesn't seem a nice place to go.

Great initiative!

My guess is, the next fischertechnik controller will be a shield to use with an existing computer-on-a-board, like the BrickPi+ by Dexter Industries for the Raspberry Pi, or http://www.dexterindustries.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/BrickPi-Clear-Acrylic-6-sided-case-with-BrickPi-and-Raspberry-Pi-up...

There are numerous and various initiatives to provide alternatives to RoboPro for the Robotics TXT. Up to now, I've listed three: Scratch für Robo TXT Web IDE for TXT, for which I suggested Node-Red as GUI. Python for Robotics TXT and ftrobopy Basically, most of those options are graphic based and d...

It looks like Lego is taking inspiration from fischertechnik! See the yet-to-be-released Bucket Wheel Excvavator (42055, 3927 pieces) inspired from Power Machines (520398, 1500 pieces), and http://www.ibrickcity.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/lego-42055-excavator-technic-1.jpg http://www.fischertech...

The tests I've conducted for I²C on the Robotics TXT with a logic analyser show clock stretching works, but with one serious flaw. The I²C slave pulls the SCL clock line low, starting clock stretching. The I²C master, i.e. Robotics TXT, waits. The I²C slave releases the SCL clock line, ending clock ...

You're welcome!

I'm using

• and its related library FreeIMU for Arduino, under version 3 GNU General Public License.

Schematics of the circuit I'm using for the I²C tests.
