    Re: Get 8 Outputs from RCX: A Pure-Lego Solution —Dave Baum
   I'm not sure if the 4-way would work, but it it did you could put a 4 way on each of the outputs of the first 4-way, yielding a 16 way splitter. Of course this would require 10 polarity switches. Dave (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: Get 8 Outputs from RCX: A Pure-Lego Solution —Hao-yang Wang
   (...) This is a great idea, and it pushes the number of outputs up to 32: We connect two 16-way splitter to RCX, and use one direction of the controlling motor for both the "first-level" splitters and the other direction for all the eight (...) (25 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Now wait just one minite. If you connect up the outputs of a few of the 32-way spliiter to the inputs of other 32-way spliiters, you can drive many more outputs. How many outputs are we at now? -Kekoa (25 years ago, 11-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: Get 8 Outputs from RCX: A Pure-Lego Solution —Hao-yang Wang
   (...) But then we run out of outputs for the controlling motors. On the other hand, we may layer four stages of the 4-way splitter into a 256- way, then use both directions of the other two outputs to control these four stages... I think this is (...)

        Polarity switch Question —Ralph Hempel
   Does anybody know if the polarity switch has a neutral center position? In other words, does the switch go: forward<->off<-->reverse Please share with the group... Cheers, Ralph Hempel - P.Eng ---...--- A picture is worth a thousand words, but very (...) (25 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: Polarity switch Question —Hao-yang Wang
   (...) Yes. Moreover, rather than just toggle it, you can turn its axis and have: forward <-> off <-> reverse <-> off <-> forward <-> off <-> reverse <-> ... Hao-yang Wang (25 years ago, 12-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics)
