Is shaun the guy whose just sold his 76 (ish) ford escort? and chris the one with a crosser?

good bunch of lads and a good shop all round apart from the lack of independent american brands for HOOOGE amounts of money. ;) Marin? FFS...

Waughs well? what a bloody mess that is... boggy as hell last time i was up there. I found an alternative route over by the quarry (have you seen the SIZE of it?). You can follow an old train track that was presumably used to build the res below Waughs Monument. Bit of a scramble over a few rocks but a great drop down to the stream and back upto the road. I go riding with a guy up in rammy every now and again, i'll drop you a mail next time I'm heading up. And funnily enough he cycles to manchester most days. I think he heads down the canal to the irwell. Mostly offroad.

anyway, I'll drop jurg a mail and point out this thread to him and see if he'll oblige.

I've just orderd the control system for the mill so it would be interesting to control it with illustrator!!

waxoil? urgh... what a loverleee job... You could have done a better job on the vinyl roof ;)

I've droppred jurg a mail and I'll see what happens...

Might get out tomorrow if I manage to finish the trench for the new gas pipe, ahh the joys of DIY.

Are you interested in the motion control side of programming? The delights of G Code?

Please excuse the late reply:

Simon's right, i'm in Tokyo since a few weeks, and unfortunatelly pretty absorbed. Before I started working here I put more effort in the new site, but it's still not online...

About the RCX bridge: I did a little research on Google and found a Java library for it here: http://www.escape.com/~dario/java/rcx/

As the new Version is based on Java, it normally is as easy as putting the jar file in the lib folder, executing Illstrator, and using the Java JavaScript bridge. In the case of the RCX bridge it will be a bit more complicated as it relies on javax.comm for the communication over the SerialPort / USB.

If you want to try it out, I can send you a beta version of the new plugin. Please let me know on which platform you are and I'll assist you with the steps needed to get the javax.comm running as well.

Sounds promising...

Yes, please send me the new version. I'm on xp with illus CS.

my email is in my profile.

For Windows, it takes a bit longer unfortunatelly. I need to get my Windows box working first. I should be able to do so within the next two weeks.

Get a windows box working? what? like, without crashing?

you the man!!

Anytime is great... ;)

cheers

Hey Lehni, Looks like you've been busy! good work on the beta.

I've downloaded the rcx lib and the CS2 beta I was wondering if you had any sample scripts for controling the lego brick I could hack around / play with?

Hi Waren!

There are no sample scripts for this particular case. But you can just drop the lib into java/lib within scriptographer's directory, and then use Rhino's Java bridge to access its classes and functions.

This page has a good overview about how to do this:

thanks for the quick reply...

Its all a bit daunting for someone whose JUST getting to grips with AS2!!

I shall take your links and explore....

Anyone else whose is interested in this little experiment??
