  Re: Speed of RCX interpreting bytecodes: slow
 
Its been a long time since I looked at the firmware in detail, but is it possible that the bytecode interpreter is driven from one of the timer chains? If this was the case, it wouldn't matter if the CPU could execute the bytecode in 200 cycles...it (...) (25 years ago, 5-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  Drive R/C Servos with the RCX and pbForth (long)
 
Hi again everyone! A few days ago I announced that I had developed a nice little circuit using easily available parts that would let you connect servos to the RCX - with no external batteries or microprocessors or anything! At that time, I said that (...) (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) If you're using a custom motor driver in pbForth, why use the inverter circuit at all? Why not just generate the desired waveform directly? Is there not enough current to drive the servo that way? --Ben (25 years ago, 12-Feb-00, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

  RE: Drive R/C Servos with the RCX and pbForth (long)
 
(...) No, the servo needs power to the + and ground terminals to drive the motor to the setpoint indicated by the signal wire. If I don't invert the signal there is no power for about 30msec and only 1 or 2 msec ov voltage on the motor port. By (...)

This is important since a micro or miniservo and an SMT version of the driver can be made to fit INSIDE a space similar to a worm gear box (6588 in LDraw). I'm (...)
