(...) The trouble with this (I suppose) is that the precision of the A-to-D convertor in the RCX is going sharply limit the angular precision when that number range is 'stretched' over ten revolutions. I've seen the devices you talk about though - (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I have to disagree with your approach. Even at low speeds, alternating between pushing on the gas and stamping on the brake isn't the way to drive smoothly. Perhaps you need to gear the machine differently and use less power during the ON (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
