I hope that maybe you can help me. My grandson wants me to get him for his birthday, the Lego Diving Expedition Explorer (#6560) that is now discontinued, but was in the 1997 catalog. Can you give me several leads as to where I might be able to go (...) (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.build)

I've built a robot with a rotation sensor that keeps track of the position of the steering wheels. If you gear up this movement a bit it gets accurate enough to keep the wheels straight. You need to add a calibration routine to your program to find (...) (25 years ago, 5-Sep-99, to lugnet.build)

Yes 1/2 rev/sec is about right, the micromotor is geared down a lot. That's why it's so noisy. It's good as a power source for animations, etc as you don't need a separate gear train. GMLTC transfer table uses two. You can stall it and at that point (...) (25 years ago, 3-Sep-99, to lugnet.build)
