| A couple of years ago, i used brickOS. Then, i changed to Lejos... I have a moc where i use the RCX to control a train with a lego train motor. It is difficult to control the train with LejOS, because it only has 8 output levels. Two solve the (...) (19 years ago, 27-Dec-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

| | Re: train precision
|
| 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 (...) (19 years ago, 29-Dec-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
