Hi all, I'm only just now making the transition from RCX to NXT. The power of the new servos is really something. For years I've "hard-coded" my own servo code to couple a rotation sensor to a gearmotor to do setpoint-based positioning for (...) (12 years ago, 22-Sep-12, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)

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 (...)
