I went to the Blue Water shopping centre today at Greenhythe, Kent... It opened last week with 320 shops and 5,000,000 potential customers with a half hour's drive. It's the "largest shopping centre in Europe" (it sez 'ere)... Anyway, while (...) (26 years ago, 27-Mar-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Measuring PWM is not difficult, but it would involve a micro (PIC12C508 anyone?) dedicated to the task and then you would have to get it to drive the RCX, which means motor drivers, etc. If you are willing to spend $50 and LOTS of time, then (...)

I think that the solution should also be flexible enough to allow the power to be plugged into either an RCX output port or a battery pack. That way if you didn't want to lug around another battery pack, or if you didn't want to use up another (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Yeah it probably is! Welcome to our little part of the world :) Where exactly is Prescott?? I'm pretty sure I've been in it..

(...) I have checked this out, and if you use the standard RCX firmware (or other firmware that uses the RCX ROM, then you get the waveforms you are talking about at 125Hz 1/(1ms x 8).
