I won't go into the code detail as other members have already corrected it.
I just wanted to say that if your interested in my RCX Train code, it's almost
ready. (Phase 1 anyway)
It has a few modes of use. MS Remote control. (Forward, stop, reverse) IT is field
programmed at startup for the mode. It has a track reader that reads the location
of the track (For the computer controlled mode) and it allows the user to change
the power levels (For load dependence). It also has a horn. GRIN
It has a special modified motor that picks up track power to the RCX and allows for
direct RCX control without sending the power out to the track.
It will have in future:
Auto train decoupler
Track speed reader (To automatically adjust power levels depending on load and
incline)
Automatic point switching from onboard the train.
Any anything else I think up. heh.

it's special motor.
