Hi,
yesterday i played around with the View Button and with different
Sensors. And than I pluged a Motor (in this case a generator) to the
Sensor input. If the motor was not turned, the Sensor Reading was '4'.
If turned (forward) the reading increased in proportion to the speed
(This was the expected result).
Conclusion:
If I use two motors, one as a motor, the other as a generator, i can
measure the speed of the motor. Maybe this can be used to build a
software differential.
Has anybody played around with this?
greetings Carsten
