  Re: power levels clarification
 
(...) I couldn't call myself an expert either! In your second way of looking at it, the full voltage and full current are already multiplied to give full power for part of the time. I=(Vcc-Eb)/R Current I, Voltage Vcc, Back EMF Eb and motor (...) (21 years ago, 14-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: power levels clarification
 
Hi Mark, (...) is it really true that there is a square law for PWM? Can you explain the reason why this is so? I understand that this is true if you change the voltage (half the voltage gives half the current so a quarter of the power). But I (...)

  RE: Motor port status for Robolab
 
Hi Yes, I indeed did try all those steps, but they did not work. I will greatly appreciate it if you could post the individual vi files. Thank you so much in advance! ---...--- -------- Best Regards, Elizabeth Mabrey -----Original Message----- From: (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: Motor port status for Robolab
 
(...) You ought to be able to just double click on the .llb. If that doesn't work, try opening it from within Robolab. Either use the open command or the select .vi from the tools pallet. If there are still troubles, let me know and I'll post the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)
 
  Re: power levels clarification
 
(...) Others have explained Pulse Width Modulation. However, if the kids are old enough to understand the difference between linear (straight line) and square law (curving ever upwards) and electrical voltage, resistance and power, you could say (...)
