I do think Steve is on the right track here. The train regulator varies the
voltage, but the RCX output can't. So you are left with managing (nominally) 9v
pulses. But there is another solution. You could add a DCC decoder to your train
motor, and then use either LDCC or BrickOS with LDCC support to control your
train. This way your RCX sends digital commands to the train and the DCC decoder
takes care of speed and acceleration. Most DCC decoders have highly tunable
performance parameters to get just the kind of control you are seeking.


thanks for the suggestion, Brian

I want to make some experimences with LDCC some day. But not in this
project.
