I was wondering if it was possible to control the speed/torque of the motor by varying the output voltage in brickOS. It seems that the speed parameter on the motors only changes the rate at which they pulse on and off. I am looking for something (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
