Detached Solutions

Welcome to the Upcoming Projects section of our website. On this page we provide general information about the projects that our staff are currently working on. Each project that we have listed may be an Individual Application by a certain staff member in particular, or a Group Project that Detached Solutions is working on as a whole. The entries shown below give the platform that the project is being developed for, the developer's name, and their E-Mail address. There are a few screenshots for the Upcoming projects, descriptive paragraphs about each, and a link to separate webpage containing more detailed information. We also provide somewhat of an expected release date for each project, but cannot guarantee the accuracy of those dates. However, we do strive to complete these projects in a reasonable amount of time, and we keep the public updated on the status of our Upcoming project through the means of News items on our Main page.

RoboCalc

Being Developed For: TI-89 TI-92P, V200 Expected Release: Spring 2004 Produced By: Greg Dietsche E-mail: [email protected]
The RoboCalc project is designed to lower the learning curve required to operate and program the Norland Research Robot. This program will be a great addition to any classroom utilizing the robot! Students can easily control the robot using easy to remember mnemonics in the format XLR where x is the command (T for timed, S for Switch and TS for Time and Switch) R is the right wheel direction and L is the left wheel direction. For example, students can write 'sfn' for "Switch" Forward, Neutral which makes the robot pivot on the right wheel while turning left. This is much simpler than the normal method of "Send {221}:Get t" Other Examples: sff - moves the robot forward until a switch is triggered sfb - the robot spins clockwise tsnf(1000) - the robot pivots on the left tire (Neutral) and turns left until 1 second passes or a switch is triggered. tbb(1500) - the robot moves backward for 1.5 seconds
