Hi all, One of the common ways I like to control the speed of a gearmotor (in NQC) is by introducing a loop, for example, like this: while(true) { OnFwd(motor); Wait(a); Off(motor); Wait(b); } I often do this as a motor approaches a setpoint (say an (...)

(...) Initially (at least) the Pi comes without a case, so I expect it is just a matter of building around it so it doesn't rattle too much. I haven't received mine yet, but I'll take a moment to see how well a pure LEGO case can work. It feels a (...) (13 years ago, 13-Apr-12, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
