Combination Lock Box Programming Use the LockBox program for the Combination Lock Box. The first time the program is run on your NXT, it will ask you to choose and set your combination. To enter a combination, turn the dial wheel to choose a number 0-50, then press the Enter (orange) button on the NXT to select that number. After you enter the three numbers, your combination is set, and the NXT will remember this combination even when the NXT is turned off (by using a data file). To open the box, enter the combination the same way you set the combination. If you forget your combination, or if you want to change it, run the LockBoxReset program, which will clear the combination, and then the LockBox program will ask you to set it again the next time it is run. |
