Subject says it all... As stated by someone else, TIE is 2 pounds cheaper than LLW at 37.99. They did have them all, tucked away in the Technic. They still have loads of football starter sets, too. All of them at 15.99....... (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

Thanks for checking this out. This is important to know. I assume, then, that the duty cycles are 1/8 through 8/8 as well as off, which would be 0/8. Can anybody verify this (with a scope or something)? I have long wondered whether the duty cycles (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

OK, this is my first experiment in LCad. :-) It's a change to the 877-879 LCad 99-02 part by John VanZwieten to look like a CyberMaster touch sensor. It's body it's transparent cyan and a color change only changes the peg color (that can be white, (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dat)

Hi, Lugnet'ers. I've heard some people in Michagan are going to hold a Lego Fest, and am just wondering, how do you host one? What stuff do you need? How do you keep everyone's Legos seperate, so they don't get mixed up, and lastly, what do you need (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) I don't know how NQC drives the ports, but both rcxcc and the RIS software have separate controls for on/off and power level. I just tested setting all 8 power settings - motors operates for all 8. -Wes (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Right. That is why you cannot use all 8 power levels. The polarity reversal that I am talking about is on the controlling (and only) output. I am already assuming, at this point, that drive power is stuck on as with your external battery box. (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) 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)
