Hi, I've created PDF files for building instructions for - R2D2 / RCX - Battle Droid from legomindstorms.com html files, but I don't know if I can legally put them available for everybody on my web site ? Any ideas ? (25 years ago, 24-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) It is 1/10 of a second for the timers. However, in case you don't know. The RCX's Motor ports PULSE their signal. They always put out the same voltage. At level 8 it's 100% at level 4 it's an even on/off. I use it for my trains and it's great. (...) (25 years ago, 23-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.trains)

Hi All, Since I am and train head I don't read .RCX (this topic might be well exhausted) I just read thru a third party book on the RCX and in one place he said the timer granularity in 1/10 sec and in another it was 1/1000 sec.
