(...) The RCX has the capability to place a resistance accross its output terminals. Removing that resistance provides the free spinning behavior enabled by one of the programmable features. Inserting the resistance gives tighter control of motor (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

If I attach a motor to a battery box and twist the motor arbor I get resistance EVEN if the battery box is switched off. This means that the current,generated by the motor, is getting through, correct? Is the current just bridging the contacts or is (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) That's a better idea because a yellow LED is just a red and a green LED that are both turned on at the same time. Hence there is no additional information in terms of reflectivity than you would have gained from the red and green LED's used (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

Here's a link to my NXT electronics folder: (URL) , which contains two experiments: My first experiment was to get the NXT to light an LED, in a similar way to the way the light sensor works. My thanks to Philo for sharing a tutorial of how to (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.uk)
