just crack a pneumatic valve to move a piston without much force. But it is
very jittery and I wonder if I am destroying the motor gearing.

| This is a long post. It covers the following: 1. How the "WAIT x 10 msec" opcode is implemented and its inherent inaccuracy for low delays. And suggests an alternative code implementation 2. How RCX motor PWM is implemented. And the implication that (...) (23 years ago, 31-Jan-02, to lugnet.robotics)
