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 (...) (20 years ago, 3-Jul-04, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.java)

| | | | (...) The simple answer is "maybe"! If you have one handy, try it. I'm not sure whether the RCX will cope with a capacitive load rather than an inductive one, so I would advise you not to put the capacitor across the RCX output without a motor in (...)
