(...) Looks like LEGO has finally updated their light units to make use of white LEDS. (I've been doing this for my models for the past several years...) I'm sure that some builders will find this set interesting, although I would personally be much (...) (17 years ago, 1-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

The new Power Functions Electronics folder in my Brickshelf: (URL) contains circuits and pictures of how to use electronics with your PF parts. So far there are PF lead mods, a light direction, latch and flash circuit, which can keep train lights on (...)

A new version of my Power Functins library and PWM remote are now available at: (URL) There was some code cleanup and fine tuning. The PWM remote program now goes from slowest to fasted speed. give it a try and thanks for all the feed back so far. (...)

After Ian and I did all the technical building creating our Robot Arms, it was time to build control cabins on top of the arms! I had fun and made not only a control cabin, but I figured all good robot arm's have a Castle at the back, right? (7 (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

I have two 8735 sets and a Mindstorms set, so for power I have an RCX and two battery boxes. I've had 3 motors for a good 5 years now, so I ordered a second 8735 set and it arrived today. :) Any project ideas? Cool MOCs out there I could replicate? (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Very good. Have you done experiments to map the power level settings to RPM? I am guessing that each of the 7 steps sets literally a power level (PWM width) and not a speed. Have you done experiments under load to see what happens to the speed (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) Could it be that the long range mode of IR is not set (I saw no reference to range setting in your source, and I don't know the default state). Despite the difference in carrier frequency, the RCX 1.0 and RCX2.0 are able to dialog albeit with (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

I verified the single-output PWM mode, which starts a motor at a given power level, in which it stays indefinitely (...)
