This is what I noticed, comparing the two systems with BrickOS One thing that I noticed was at the lower voltages the needle on my multimeter wavered around a little and it tended to steady at the higher power levels All of the readings were taken (...)

Ok, you can (perhaps--I haven't been able to test it yet) ignore my previous post. I was trying to build the cross compiler using GCC 3.3, and nothing I tried would work. When I switched to 3.2.3, the errors disappeared. So I'm making the temporary (...) (21 years ago, 14-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

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)
