(...) One thing you will find, is that you can't drive the motor backwards. Well, it won't go one direction. The direction depends on the wiring. Actually, that's just if you hook it to a motor port, AND a sensor port. I don't know how bad it is, (...) (21 years ago, 12-Nov-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | Motors on Sensor ports
|

I'm just curious if there's any harm in connecting motors to active sensor ports... I know you don't get very much voltage/speed/torque, but you do get interesting readings that can be used to detect when the motor stalls. This is potentially a very (...)

(...) Andrew, I grabbed a ROM image awhile back using a serial tower and an RCX 1.0. I haven't tried this on a 2.0 brick, but I think the ROMware is identical in all RCX versions.
