    Controlling different motors and sensors at the same time is what Minstorms is all about. Not sure why the LEGO seller would say that?!
  2. Jim
    We can discuss it when used in a robot, but general discussion will still be in Technic.

    You are more than welcome. I do have a question for you; do you have any programming experience? Do you want to do actual programming or do you want use a graphical environment like the EV3-G?
  4. Jim
    The EV3 does not qualify? What is it you are looking for?
  5. Jim
    Yup, January 2019

    You are more than welcome and I also hope we will have a lovely and active community. That is great to hear. I regret not doing this a couple of years earlier. Better late than never
  7. Jim
    Interesting. Thanks!
  8. Jim
    Yeah, this one is insane. Probably my favorite Mindstorms creation ever.

    This sums it up pretty much. Get yourself a retail EV3 set, like @Busterhaus said and embark on the journey. We are planning to do monthly challenges/mini contests, so there will be enough to do and learn. By the way; the education version does have the rechargeable battery, which is quite convenient. And a nice box to store your stuff. Something to take into consideration. I have added this topic to the index.

    No thanks! I have @dr_spock and @BusterHaus helping me out. Together with our members we will make this forum happen! I applaud you moving to the EV3

    You can also go for the PFMate. I have been testing it and it works nicely. http://www.mindsensors.com/ev3-and-nxt/123-pf-motor-controller-for-nxt-or-ev3-pfmate From what I recall TLG made these cables. Which is confirmed by this article: http://www.bartneck.de/2015/06/01/building-instructions-for-a-cable-that-connects-lego-power-functions-pf-with-mindstorms-nxtev3/ The cables are out of production, but you can still get them, if you want to fork out that kind of cash. https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=8528-1#T=S&O={"iconly":0}

    This is indeed very cool!
  14. Jim
    Nope, tags don't provide that kind of functionality. They are merely used to identify topics and to improve searching.
  15. Jim
    Not exactly, but usually earlier than this year. You can go through the previous year's topics if you really want to know hehe. TLG is probably more cautious nowadays.
  16. Jim
    Okay guys, let’s not go down the “no photos” road. Try to be patient and wait for tangible info
  17. Jim
    Yup, yet another forum. But if you are working with EV3, you feel a desperate need to have information gathered in a single place. A place where users are active and questions get answered. Glad you support the idea I'm not really sure why would need to tag MOCs so you can search them in Technic, while they are simply visible in another forum. Just visit the other forum every so often and keep an eye out on the frontpage
  18. Jim
    Glad you like it! Moved your MOC over here

    This is a very nice creation! I love that you made this by only using parts from the original set.
  20. Jim
    This topic has been moved from Technic. It needs updating. See the first line We are working on updating all the broken links. I will add a bigger remark
  21. Jim
    Yeah sure There used to be PF to NXT/EV3 cables. Need to look up if they are still available. Will get back to you.
  22. Jim
    No problem. I agree it doesn't come cheap. They missed the first Kickstarter because they didn't reach the required funding for a certain number of units. After that they started a new campaign for less units. And I reckon making less units bumps the price per unit. If I am not mistaken you can use other LEDs btw. The price might put some people off, but it is a quality product. I love the ease of use and the available software.
  23. Jim
    This is a very nice project! Off topic: you mention reading NFC tags on the EV3. Care to elaborate? (or create a new topic) I know there used to be a HiTechnic or Mindsensors or even an official NFC sensor.
  24. Jim
    That's great to hear! I really hope more people will start using this Mindstorms forum. I have moved your topics!
  25. Jim
    Done deal! We will focus on the "Robotic" part in the new forum.
