  Re: Motors comparison page updated
 
(...) Interesting thread, even if a bit off topic of LEGO motors. I'm not an expert on power circuits, but a google search turned up this web site with a number of interesting power supply circuits (there is a search option).

  Re: Motors comparison page updated
 
(...) No, purely resistive. Although it does have a "boot up" time, I think it's just due to heating up the element. I'm not completely sure if the element will respond better to a "dimmer" type set-up (running it at less than normal voltage) or a (...)

  Re: Lots of gratitude
 
Dear Brahm, We know we are not supposed to do this on this forum, but we shall do it anyways because our gratitude towards you is more intense than just a 5 star rating. We have been trying to make our RIS 2.0 software and hardware work for many and (...) (14 years ago, 18-Jan-11, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Anyone else tried the Firgelli actuators?
 
I decided to spring for one of the expensive Firgelli actuators, and just gave it a quick try. I either got a broken unit, or it is the worst piece of junk anyone has ever made for NXT. First of all, you command it to move a distance, not command it (...) (14 years ago, 25-Jan-11, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Anyone else tried the Firgelli actuators?
 
(...) That's something expected because the encoder is a relative position one, just like in the regular NXT motor. (...) I have not noticed that - could you send me your program? Philo (14 years ago, 26-Jan-11, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: Motors comparison page updated
 
(...) I have come across some industrial heater controls. To get the heaters at part power (to run them in a closed-loop temperature control), a method of burst firing is used. The circuit measures the zero crossings of the AC supply and turns the (...) (14 years ago, 25-Feb-11, to lugnet.robotics)
