mindstorms programming – leet hacker

leet hacker Member Posts: 118 From: Hobbiton, Shire, Middle-Earth Registered: 07-30-2007	so i'm doing a lego mindstorms (rcx, not nxt) physics project where a tower thingy drops a ball and the rcx measures how long it took to fall. so when the ball falls it hits a platform at the bottom that is connected to a touch sensor, and the sensor is supposed to stop the timer and display how much time has been elapsed. the only problem is that i can't figure out how to stop the timer, and i'm pretty sure that it can't be done in the regular drag-and-drop ide. does anyone know how to go about doing this? ------------------ This post Copyright © 2007 leet hacker.
