Mirry's place

Mon, 12/30/2002 - 10:59am

It's always nice to see that other people I know have a website as well. Mirjam started one to keep everybody up-to-date on the daily life of Linda in Suriname.

The site is called Mirry's place.

Svetla and Radoslav

Sun, 12/29/2002 - 4:47pm

Svetla and Radoslav are here, they came from Brussels. I tried to make a Dutch dinner, but I'm not sure whether or not chicken, brocolli and mashed potatoes is so typical Dutch...

Anyway -- we had a pleasant evening. Tonight we made a short walk through Haarlem.

Someone sent me this 'dyseducational road movie'.

It's a big file (700kb) but definately worth downloading: Driving lessons (Windows only).

The VARA has an online competition on your knowledge about polical parties in the Netherlands.

You'll have to play the role of the 8 party leaders and answer a lot of questions about them and their party.

The winner of this tournament will get a real (used) parliament seat!

Traffic lights

Mon, 12/23/2002 - 10:25am

Today I've been working on the algorithm for the traffic lights controller. At first, potentially lethal situations occurred frequently as I let cars on both road cross at the same time but it works okay now.

Because there are no lights in the Lego Mindstorms set a small motor is doing the traffic light's job: a rotating motor is green, a slow rotating motor is yellow and when the motor is off it indicates the light is red.

Bought a Christmas tree today too.

Message from Finland

Dear Guus,

seasons greetings from Finland, the home of the late Sta Claus.

I hope you are not too sad about this, it is a cruel world.

Best wishes to you and your sweet Sasha.

First prototype!

Thu, 12/19/2002 - 12:39pm

OverviewI've just started my first real prototype of a traffic light controller.

It's made using a Lego Mindstorms set. The controlling software is written in Esterel, which is one of the languages I want to use in the real projects too. However the hardware is 'just' a processor, not an FGPA.
