Wow! I hope LegOS has the option to use On and Float too. I was planning on
migrating to LegOS soon, but if it does On and Brake, it is to be avoided.
That technique simply burns battery power!

The standard firmware does pulse-width modulation alternating
between ON and FLOAT.  What I think Jerry is suggesting is
pulse-width modulation alternating between ON and BRAKE (which
does control speed quite handily, and is what legOS does).

(...) Oh, it probably does have that option; if nothing else, you can change the code to do it that way. I simply find the ON/BRAKE modulation to be more useful, so haven't bothered looking for an alternative. - Alex (23 years ago, 26-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
