| | Re: sensor connectors
|
| 2 pins are power and 2 are ground. It's made that way so the connector can go in several ways. You can reverse motor direction just by turning the power connector at either end. LegoCork@aol.com (26 years ago, 27-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| | Pitsco Catalog
|
| I'm severly disapointed with Pitsco... I recieved their catalog today and there is NOTHING in it for Robolab or Mindstorms, not even a mention of it in the 150+ pages. Is this just my imagination or did they leave something out? (26 years ago, 5-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | RcxCC Joystick controls
|
| Is there any way to make the joystick control of RcxCC2.0 work with just 1 motor. Some of us havn't had the $$$ to get a 3rd motor just yet. Even if I did have a 3rd, I'd use it for extra speed or some other gilley-friggy-thingy not yet thought of. (26 years ago, 7-Jan-99, to lugnet.robotics)
