I'm not that experienced on RoboLab - I received the following request from Jim C. and am hoping some of our readers might be able to offer some suggestions:
"I am teaching a group of students immgrating from the RCX to NXT. We have been working on buidling a line follower using the NXT set.
We have decided to use the robolab 2.9 program to work on this project as they are more familiar with robolab software.
Would appreciate it if you could help to point us in the right direction with regards to the following:
1) How do I calibrate the NXT light sensors? I understand that the NXT-G software has a calibration function but not the robolab 2.9 software. There is no calibration file in the NXT brick as well so we can't use that.
2) Can 2 NXT light sensors be used to build a line follower robot? How different would the program be via-a vis using a single light sensor?
Thanks for the help."
