  Re: RCX motor voltage
 
(...) I am using the motors that came with the RCX. (...) Hmmm - do you propose to ensure the delay in the relay circuit or programmatically? If in the circuit, how? (...) (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: RCX motor voltage
 
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)
 
  Re: RCX motor voltage
 
(...) That sounds like a good approach. (...) As I stated before - I'm using the motors that came with the RCX. -Wes (25 years ago, 9-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
 
  Re: RCX motor voltage
 
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)
