I don't use the RCX but I do know know to control a motor.

I would picup the power and "pulse" the motor will e.g. 400 Hz, but
pulse-wide-modulated.

The idea is that the motor gets full power but not all the time meaning thar
it has full strenght but you just adjusts the speed.

I guess you can do something like this with the RCX but I would make special
hardware for it using a Stepmotor driver or a H-bridge.

The good news is that the RCX outputs are pulse-width modulated.

I have controlled LEGO trains via the RCX many times. The question is how to control the speed of the train under a finer ganularity then just the native power levels. snip ...this comment has promise! Can you vary the width of the pulse? <The good (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
