A couple of years ago, i used brickOS. Then, i changed to Lejos...

I have a moc where i use the RCX to control a train with a lego train
motor. It is difficult to control the train with LejOS, because it only
has 8 output levels. Two solve the problem, i need to implement loops
that alternate two levels. But the result is not so smooth as i want. It
is the same thing with NQC and the official lego programming system.

I've heard that BrickOS is different, because it doesn't use the
standard lego routines for output control. Do you thing i can get more
precise control of the train, with BrickOS?

thanks

daniel
