Merry Go Round Gala
May 4, 2004
Today we hooked up the turnstile, eight merry go rounds, and a Ferris wheel.
When a person went through the turnstile that RCX sent a mail message to the rover.
The rover traveled along the line until it came to a crossing.
Then it sent a mail message to the next RCX.
The first time a merry go round on output A moved
then the RCX sent a mail message back to the rover.
The rover traveled along the line until it came to a crossing.
It sent a message to the next RCX.
The RCX with merry go round are programmed to wait for mail message.
The first time it receives a mail message the merry go round on motor A runs
then the RCX sends a mail message.
The second time it receives a mail message the merry go round on motor B runs
then the RCX sends a mail message.
The third time it receives a mail message the merry go round on motor C runs
then the RCX sends a mail message.
The rover passes the three RCX with Merry go rounds.
Each time a different merry go round runs.
The last time the big Ferris Wheel flew around fast!
