Hey Brendan, Awesomeness! Love - I really like the Oval Office, with the flag, the first family, that kalashnikov, etc. Was that curtain design inspired by Shawn Sullivan? And then LOL - you don't get a lot of Hitler MOCs. On the Klan, I think it (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)

What wasn't mentioned in the article is that Lego plans to discontinue electric trains, and also that they are mostly sold on the internet. This will no doubt discourage parents from buying the sets for their kids. After all, there can be only so (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)

(...) A bridge may be the only solution, but you will loose 1.2v across the diodes generally. Although it needs work (and is incomplete) I wrote a tutorial on interfacing a simple LED with an RCX, which shows ways using a bridge, or just simply (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Yes, though the things to think about are the voltage drop across the diodes or other devices and the amount of power required.
