(...) I doubt it's a problem with the chip. In order for the DCC to send the signal to the chip, it must send a message pulse that sometimes either goes above 9v, or goes below 9v. The RCX has a maximum output of 9v. So, to send the signal, it must (...) (19 years ago, 3-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You can get more outputs or a smaller brick by chopping a wire, and using the 2 bits for signal input and motor output. Only really useful if you know the brick is gonna be close to the signal and motor though. ROSCO (19 years ago, 2-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
