|  |  | Faster Firmware/Motor Control 
 | 
 | 
| 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 (...)

Having said that, I generally leave my NXT rechargeables attached, sometimes for long periods, and (...)   (13 years ago, 16-May-12, to lugnet.robotics)

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 (...)   (14 years ago, 13-Apr-12, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
