| | | Wes, relays would work pretty well. (Still, how much current do your motors draw???) The LEGO motors draw about .35 Amps (350 Milliamperes) You could connect two 5V coil relays , each with a diode in series with the coil, connected oppositely to (...)

| | | | The simple thing would be to do the short delay in the software. Identical relays usually 'make' faster than they 'break' due to energy stored in the magnetic circuit. It's hard to do this without active components. If you use a typical small (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | Wes, I'm sorry; I missed the Rcx Motor info... If the Rcx Motors start/run with 6V but don't work with the Rcx Outputs, something is 'Funny'. The Rcx, with decent batteries, puts out about 7 volts to a running Rcx motor (full power setting). I'm not (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
