 | | O'Reilly plays coy! —Russell Nelson
|
| | | ARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! I just got my review copy of the O'Reilly Lego Mindstorms book, and there's no cover!!! We *still* don't know what animal is being on the cover. Both O'Reilly and Jonathan are being coy! No fair! (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I just went to the O'Reilly web page and looked up the Lego Mindstorms book and it shows a "robotic rabbit" (...) (25 years ago, 30-Jul-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | output A in reverse weak and NQC question —Tim Gion
|
| | | | | | I just picked up Mindstorms on Thursday. Today, I noticed that output A in reverse is significantly weaker running a motor than it is running the motor forward. I've tried this with more than one motor and also compared it to that of output C. Is (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | | | Re: output A in reverse weak and NQC question —Tim Gion
|
| | | | | | I did some more experimenting today and it turns out that output A is weak in reverse, normal in forward and output B behaves in the opposite manner. It looks like output C is the only one that performs fine in both directions. Has any one else run (...) (25 years ago, 1-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

|
| | | | | | It may not even be an RCX problem. I've found that all my Lego motors run better in one direction than the other. Has got to do with the magnetisation of the pole pieces, I believe. Try checking out by connecting the motors directly to the Lego 9V (...) (25 years ago, 2-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
