| (...) Hi Anders, Very nice truck, I never thought orange or purple would ever be useful for anything, but you proved me wrong! Fantastic detail, the stickers are really good. And that's a lot of chrome. Are you gonna build a trailer for it? ROSCO (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) I'm looking at the mechanism around the rotor, and it looks like you have true collective and cyclical- the shaft stays vertical? That's some pretty slick stuff there. Nice work! You gotta shrink down the images next time, though- it's awkward (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| (...) I have used the Technic swashplate in a 1:20 scale Apache helicopter, including collective and differential pitch control. The scale is about right for Technic figures. I modded the splined ball by filing the axle hole a bit so that it would (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

| Hi Ross and many thanks for your support ! I also thought about using specific Technic "swashplate", but I concluded as you did : collective control could'nt be achieved because of friction. So keeping the large technic turntable was the best way... (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I like how you control the swash plate (turntable) from below - the probably (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
| | | | | Re: using PWM output to control Lego motors

| (...) The signals output by the RC receiver will drive servos or RC motor speed controllers. The signal consists of a pulse of 1-2ms width in an 18ms cycle. For a servo, 1ms corresponds to 45 degrees turn one way, 1.5ms to centre and 2ms to 45 (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

| (...) Thank you, this clarifies things for me quite a lot. I was thinking that PWM was PWM, but now I see the important difference -- one is a means of transmitting data, and the other is a means for controlling current (integrated over many (...)
