Hi and thanks to all that answered my questions. I'm using the method 'getVoltageMilliVolt()' in my robot. But i don't understand the value that i get, more than 10000 mV, why? if 9600mV is the total voltage that batteries provide. Bye and thanks (...) (22 years ago, 9-Mar-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Hi Sole, I've used the getVoltageMilleVolt() in projects to measure how much voltage was used to complete a task. It is the most granular, hence the best accuracy.

(...) In RAM, as specified. RAM will hold onto the data just fine, as long as you supply power to it. And the RCX RAM is powered, via battery (that's why if you remove the batteries, you loose the firmware... and everything else). (22 years ago, 12-Feb-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

Hi Robert, thanks for your response. Indeed, the main problem seems to be slippage. The more speed the motors produce, the bigger the slippage is and the less is the resulting angle.
