| Natural Log Iterative Calculation After writing some programs, we found the need to use the natural logarithm function. Unfortunately, the natural logarithm function provided by Labview is not supported when using NXT. So we went ahead and developed this algorithm. It works if the operator is greater than 0 (x > 0). We left the source open, so feel free to poke around and adjust the iterations or the algorithm yourself! |
| Thermometer Test Data We ran some trials on the Dexter Industries Thermometers. You can see the results on our blog here. You can download the data here: Thermometer Trials Data |
