Thanks, I'll add that to the OSX docs. > I also noticed when trying out the DistanceTest program that several > commands result in I2C error, is this to be expected for now? Yes, UltrasonicSensor and I2C will both give errors from time to time, but you probably get the correct reading anyway. You'll notice it's inconsistent when you get the errors. Lego has some bugs in the I2C part of the firmware, but I think they'll be fixing those for the next release. I think it's those bugs that are affecting this. > Finally, any particular reason why you made this change to iCommand? > In my case, working with two NXTs, I woule prefer a way i could > construct two instances of NXTs in one program, and build a > synchronized system.

Initially I made the API like that so you could use more than one NXT brick, but it wasn't very leJOS-like, so I changed it around, thinking there wouldn't be too many people with 2 bricks. This will take some thinking to allow 2 bricks *and* have a leJOS-like API. Any suggestions? - Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
