 | | Maximum current of motor outputs (2)

Hi, this is my second attempt for getting information about the motor outputs. Some replies have been made for my first question but my question was not understood correctly. So, I will describe what I need and ask more precisely. Instead of a (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) That's all nice and well, but Bernd asked about current. I think it's on the order of several hundred mA, but I don't have exact figures.

Hi, Normally you can see me in .space, .loc.ca, or org.ca and the like. But now that I have an RCX I want to program a bit. I have written my first NQC program and compiled it using RCXCC.

Instead of sending ByteCodes from the PC and getting the RCX to interpret them, you can construct and send the SetWatch() OpCode plus the correct "constant" time and send it through Spirit.OCX (or directly, depending of the platform). (...) (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
