(...) sorry Brian, I stand by my original statement, I WISH "C" was as easy to grok as BASIC. My understanding from Dave, was that he was just looking for a way to slow an unloaded car down. Either way, software exists to "roll your own" PWM. as to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Cool to know. (...) Then you need another bank of sensors, perhaps, to tell you when a train is coming "near" the siding, for instance. Cruise speed until near a siding, then slow speed to approach siding, and finally "creeping" speed to (...) (20 years ago, 14-Oct-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

CLR 20 motor A ON 30 wait x 40 motor A OFF 50 wait Y 60 goto 20 Man I wish NQC was that easy. either way you get the idea. you can PWM the RCX yourself and control (...)
