| (...) hi Juergen I tried it with load, and it works much better! Only that the speed is not very stable in the curves. (...) If i use a cycle of 10ms, then i could only use 10 different speeds, because the Thread.sleep has a resolution of 1ms... (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| From the picture (d1_p31) it looks as though all 4 RCXs can see the tower. I don't know anything about pcrcxcomm.jar or rcxf7port; and not much about lejos, however, if all 4 RCXs try to respond to the tower, you will have collisions. Try covering (...)

| Hi everyone, Im working on a project with controlling a large Container Crane by 4 RCXs. I have implementet some controlling and a lot of functions in the model, including a userinterface made in Java for a laptop. The crane is controlled by a (...)

| (...) There is a fundamental difference between the RCX and a Lego Train controller - the controller uses smooth power from a 3-pin regulator, with the voltage varied using a chain of resistors. The RCX uses PWM power with approximately 166ms square (...) (22 years ago, 3-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)
