Hi.

Just to say, the CoffeeBot got finished and worked. The video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2bE_oCwy4A

Thanks to all for the help, advice and assistance on this temp. sensor issue.

Some of the Vernier sensors look especially interesting!

Until next time...

Haha, kudos to Mike Brandl on the RoButler - thanks for going to the trouble of bringing it to my attention, StudBrickMaster. The design confirms something I've been thinking about the last day or so - that I don't need a temperature sensor at all. Instead, I can get the robot to flip the kettle swi...

Hey, I couldn't steal the Education software if I tried - I wouldn't seriously ask anyone to send it to me, and internet search engines come up dry on the torrent front. Not that I've tried that. Someone told me that that was the case. I do think asking £40 for the software is a little steep. So th...

To MattAllen37: The idea of finding a copy lying on the pavement somewhere has a wonderful poetic legitimacy about it that is lacking in fishing it out of a torrent. I'd feel like a poacher... That being said - theoretically - could I burn an ISO and use it like a regular disc, rather than mounting ...

Yeah, it's the software I'm after, really. And the sensor I'm talking about here is the newer, digital sensor. I did notice that the Retail NXT-G software does handle the old temp. sensor and have considered that route - if I go that way, though, I'll need to buy the adapter that allows you to use o...

Thanks for the link, nxtreme. It's the Hassenplug page's Temperature Sensor MyBlock by Brian Davis that I've been checking out. Re: the NXT-G Retail version workaround, it seems quite complicated, because I don't really know or understand what I2C is: even after reading a Wiki about it, my understan...

Thanks for the great and speedy responses. The Hassenplug site looks like just the ticket. Re: the education version of NXT-G, I have heard the same. Does anyone know if there is enough extra stuff in the education version to warrant the £40-50 asking price? As for NXC, I want to get into that side...

Hi all, OK, so I'm interested in getting the LEGO digital Temperature Sensor for the NXT, (because my girlfriend wants me to build her a coffee-making robot), but I'm a little concerned that there's no 'block' in the NXT-G program that represents it. I followed a thread on the nxtstep forums in whic...
