Getting useful readings from that is another matter. As stated
earlier, the
RCX reads voltages between 0 and +5V. So if you run the motor in the wrong
direction, you get a reading of 0.

----- End of forwarded message from Tilman Sporkert -----

These are DC motors, you better get a reverse current (and as a
consequence
reverse voltage) or else that motor has some sort of diode in it.

Yes, you get a reverse current, but the RCX won't be able to measure that.
Anything below 0V will read the same as 0V (RAW = 0), and anything above +5V
will read as 1023 in RAW mode.
