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.

My goal is to pulse LEGO train motors for better speed control and 1/10 sec is
inadequate are there any motor pulsing scenarios that have been worked out
with the RCX? I assume the drag and drop code won’t do this but can I get to
it via Visual Basic and the OCX?

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.

Try it.
