There is no need to waste PWM levels on reverse. You can set the RCX motor output to reverse speeds as well, giving you 7 outputs (fwd and rvs) instead of 3 1/2. You need a bridge rectifier anyway; you might as well exploit it to indicate direction. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) There are 8 levels of PWM, so fwd/rev for 4 devices is possible. I originally wanted a separate power input to allow a full 8 levels for each device. This would allow the controller to operate ANY device designed for the RCX ports and not (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Cool. You can also add things like the following: 1. Serial LCD display 2. GPS devices 3. additional infrared send/recieve 4. ANY PC project that is serial port connected! I like the idea of multiple serial channels; this means that you can talk to (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) With a seperate battery box (from 8735 for instance) you could power the output full time. In this case you'd probably want to map it to something like this: off - off 1 - output 1 fwd 2 - output 1 rev 3 - output 2 fwd 4 - output 2 rev 5 - (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) And where are you getting motor drive power from? I assume you want the selected motor to run at full power, not at 1/8, 1/4, etc. I'm afraid you're still stuck consuming the extra output for power unless you use a separate power source. (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
