(...) Are you sure? I wasn't, so I went looking. The NQC docs seem to imply 7 powers levels plus off. Which, technically, is 8 levels of PWM, but if you use all of them, a motor is running at all times. That is fine if you use another motor output (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

In my example the RCX output was just used to tell this mythical board which output to drive. Power for the output came from a battery box, always set to on. The RCX can't set direction on the battery box (at least not trivially). alex (...) -- Did (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

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)
