The file on my Bricksafe. That is a .ev3 -
Thanks. First of all you go to the Mindstorms page on my Bricksafe (http://bricksafe.com/pages/Technic_Jim/lego-calculator [Yes, that is the right link, the name and hyperlink are different though]) You click on the only item there which will be the number create program, and you download it. Once it is downloaded, open the file. When the file has opened, click on the spanner on the project bar (if you're not familiar with the software, there will be two programs open when you first open the project; one will be called Block and the other will be called NumberCreate. NumberCreate will probably be the one that opens.) When you reach the spanner page, there will be six headers that say Programs, Images, Sounds, My Blocks, Variables and Exportable Items. You want to click on the 'My Blocks' one. When yu click on it, in the table below there should be row full that says NumberCrate.ev3p. You want to click on this and when it goes blue (Item is selected!) click on export. It will then promt you to save it where you want to. This step is now complete. You have a My Block waiting to be imported into any program. To import the My Block, get to the same 'My Blocks' page as you did last time, but this time on the project you want the My Block on. This time, instead of clicking export on the bottom, click Import. You then have to find where you saved the exported My Block last time and click on it. It should appear in the table. Then, on the top bar, you should go along to the program you want the My Block in, go to the light blue rectangle at the bottom and the My Block should be there. You are free to use it. In case anyone was wondering, feel free to use any of the programs I post here without asking me but depending how much you edit them, maybe mention me! Cheers, Jim

Sorry for the double post, but as promised here is the first creation: At first glance, it may seem a bit silly, but I have lots of uses for it. It is quite a simple program and you can download it on Bricksafe if you want o have a look inside (http://bricksafe.com/pages/Technic_Jim). The video explains it quite well but if you have any questions, ask away below. Jim (PS.Turn on 1080p HD quality on the video. It really makes a difference to the quality of the bit where I show what the program looks like!)
-
Cheers Jim. The first actual video should be up at lunchtime, along with a program.
-
I really like the stop motion timelapse. Cool music as well
-
Ok, my bad. I'm one thing smarter now though!
-
It only took me one sleepless night! Ok then...
-
Looks good so far. One point though - isn't positive (or indeed negative) camber measured when looking from the side of the vehicle as opposed to the front?
-
Just brilliant! Are digital entries allowed or do you have to build it 'in real life'?

It probably isn't best to post your email here because of possible spam, but I'll email it to you now and put it on my Bricksafe -
[MOC] Half-track
Technic Jim replied to syclone's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Great vehicle and cool idea. A nice and cute (sort of?!) moc that gives a break from all the Porches. This has absolutely made my day!!!! I'm not sure why I find it so funny, I just do. -
Effe's MOC Corner
Technic Jim replied to efferman's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks great! Love the colour -
It isn't a Xerion 5000, it is a 4000, but anyone willing to try this?
-
It was just a standard Lego education robot and is designed as a trailer for the things that I am going to build over the summer break. Sorry for any confusion caused!
-
Looks really good, especially with the gold rims. Great idea!!

Hello all! It has been a while since I have posted here but I have got a new toy! It is on loan to me for the summer and I plan to use it well. This thread will be where I post all my creations and hopefully the programs. I have a few programs ready and waiting to be filmed and a lot more ideas. None of them have been filmed yet, but here is a trailer to wet your appetite!: As usual, please leave any constructive feedback and keep popping back because I will (probably should!) be updating this thread fairly often.

I'm intrigued

Pure genius, but very simple! I like! -
Thanks, but I'll probably use my solution.

[MOC] Arctic Truck MK I
Technic Jim replied to 1711902090's topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Looks much better than my first MOC! -
Sorry for the double post, but I've figured out a very easy way to do Logarithms using the following formula: logbx=logx/logb The fatorial program I made is also uploaded to Bricksafe. The one labelled 'mine' is one I made, and the one labelled 'his' is made by . The address is http://bricksafe.com/pages/Technic_Jim/lego-calculator#Cheers for all the help, Jim
-
Thanks, but what do you mean about the Log function? Thanks, but I think the EV3 Log function is only log10 . I'll post the factorial program later.

Hello all, I have been working on a Lego EV3 calculator recently and have incorporated quite a few functions into it.However, there are two functions I would like to add that I don't currently have. The functions that are already in it are as follows: Add Subtract Multiply Divide Exponential Square root Factorial (this was a pain to make!) Sin ASin Cos ACos Tan ATan The two that I would like to add are an Xth root of Y function and a Log() function. If anyone knows any way I can program these blocks or any ways you have seen yourself, please post a reply! Thanks, Jim
-
Really cool! Do you have a video, because it is much better to see the functions work than to read them in a list?
-
Ok, cool!
