Rob, Did you ever get any answers to this query? I also have three of the newer Technic motors that have seized. (Out of a collection of about 10 motors that's a 30% failure rate - not good!) I suspect that this may occur with lack of use rather (...) (25 years ago, 1-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.technic)

Hi Does anyone know when the RIS 2.0 will be released or what it will contain or any other info and snippets of anything. I'd even settle for hearsay I'm getting that desperate for info. Will it be out for Christmas is the big Q? Thanks Mike (26 years ago, 24-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

|

Not exactly.... The output is an analog voltage, meaning it's not exactly a digital TTL 0 volts or 5 volts, but ranges from 200mv (call this low) to Vcc-200mv (call this high). But this is a PWM output, meaning that with the chip stationary with (...) (26 years ago, 16-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

From looking at the data sheets, it's going to be a bit more of a project than just "hooking it up". At a minimum you'll need to have a small micro to decode the dual PWM outputs, and they (AD) have a data sheet describing the use of a Parallax (...)
