Sorry about that... That is a different error then I got before. The error I got before said something about cpu_initalize_?? can't remember all of it... I...
We had our competition today. We got 5th out of 27 or so teams so I'm proud. However, a few times, at the start of the round, our robot simply wouldn't move....
Here's the error I get and it's even after I've commented out the Include and rebuilt the project and then even made sure I was in Release mode. gcc.exe...
No, the BRAIN does not have (or need) 'garbage collection'. Garbage collection is function of languages that allow strings and doesn't require them to be a...
There is a chance. A hardware fault is one possibility. Another is if the BRAIN is switched off then on again without waiting a few seconds. This causes the...
First of all - congratulations on your finish! You should be proud. While I agree with what Mike said about a potential startup problem, I want to clarify a...
Hi, our team has an extra BRAIN from 2007, which was replaced in 2008 by an updated BRAIN. I was just wondering first, if it were possible to use the old BRAIN...
Yup, Kansas. And we did have field transmitters the entire time, but it seemed as if nobody or very very few other people had problems with it, whereas we had...
Yup, but I'd suggest putting it up on blocks (so the wheels don't touch) so you don't destroy the USB cable/connection/BRAIN/PC. You could also use the BRAIN...
Yup, that one is not in the README file. I just did a web search, and found that this is a common linker file with DevC++. I don't have the foggiest idea what...
I just posted a sub release of CompileBrainSimulator.exe (version 2009.2.1); it is in the BRAIN Simulator folder of the Files section of theh BestInc group. ...
OK, my wife was logged in and somehow my response was somehow lost. Here it is again: I actually have CodeBlocks(a C/C++ IDE) installed with a recent copy of...
I unfortunetly just found the simulator yesterday and our hub regionals have already passed, however we are going to state so I was hoping that I could get...
How will you use this information? Note that the pdf torque curve from the mfg is for 12v, while Brain applies around 7 volts. It would look great in a...
One very important piece of information in the data sheets is the proper mounting method. Do not mount the motors by just strapping the body down to a hard...
It looks like there you may have a different C compiler installed than the Brain Simulator is designed for. I am running version 3.4.2 of the MingG port of...
... You might be able to uses that version if you are willing to play in the Windows Registry. However, you can mess up your computer badly if you make a...
Hi i have not been as adamant about checking the message boards, but i was wondering if anyone could send me a link to download all the necessary files or the...
The simulator itself is in the files section of this group. There is a readme file in the zip that gives instructions for installation. You need to also...
On the Files pageI just posted a new subversion (2009.2.2) of the CompileBrainSimulator.exe file that may help you. It automatically checks to see if...
Thanks again for the responses I got on my first post. I have been going through the Globe data sheets on the motors. I have been looking for all of the...
I'll see if I can help. The motor are specified in two parts: 1, the electric motor and 2, the gear box. The basic motor is specified at 5200 RPM at 12V...
The team wants to look into using gears. We have a robot that uses the standard pulley that comes with the kit. Some torque measurements would be a great...
What is the best way to measure torque on a motor? I am guessing a digital scale and an arm to press down on it or else a pulley lifting a known weight....
A few thoughts off the top of my head: 1) Connect the motor output to a spool of known diameter, wrap string around the spool, hang different weights on the...
