Can anyone confirm the output characteristics of the RCX?
It is my understanding that PWM is used to control RC servos
and not to power them. Has anyone put a scope on the RCX's
outputs to see what they look like? If the info is available,
I'd be interested to know the exact output specs (eg. 0-9v 200ma).

| Hi F'Amos, I just now put a scope on the motor output ran an NQC motor test program. At OUT_FULL the motor output is about +7V DC. At OUT_LOW the motor output is a pulse train of 1ms 7V pulses at about 125Hz. The low level depends on the motor load (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| So if you need a 1, 1.5 & 2ms pulse for controlling a servo and you said the low setting in NQC = a 1ms pulse, are there other matching motor speed settings to get a 1.5 or 2ms pulse? (...) Joel Shafer joel@connect.net (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
