Does anyone know what the max. output the RCX can produce.

With fresh batteries and full output power the RCX comes close to 9V • output.
I don't think it will ever equal the output of the normal LEGO train
supply.

For this reason you might want to control the train *indirectly*, using the
RCX and a motor to drive a switch connected to an external supply.

(...) Or just plug the train controller's AC adapter into the RCX and drive the train directly from the RCX. --- Chris Osborn FozzTexx Enterprises 707 226 7629 - Voice 2136 Coronado Ave. 707 581 1797 - Fax Napa, CA 94559 <fozztexx@fozztexx.com> (...) (25 years ago, 11-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics)
