 | | Some questions on batteries and AC power for lego
|
| There seems to be a difference between the voltage outputs of battery boxes and wall powered sources like the train speed regulators. From just listening to the sounds that motors make, a battery box puts out the same voltage as a speed regulator on (...) (17 years ago, 15-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| In preparation for our (URL) Q&A / display during Engineer's Week at the Liberty Science Center, for the FLL Expo, (JCNJ), Ian and I have created a simple ball return system. Basically a set of ramps that the RSRA can interact with. Whereas, as one (...) (17 years ago, 14-Feb-08, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

|
| (...) Many thanks John and Jason for your work on this. I am a comparative newbie to NXC programming but I have my NXT working like a PF IR remote handset now that I set up the sensor correctly! NXC has given me the programming environment to (...) (17 years ago, 5-Feb-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Many thanks John and Jason for your work on this. I have been using the NXC functions to control PF IR receivers from my NXT. TLG has just released the following information: "We have been testing the LPF RC Receiver today and discovered an (...)

| (...) It looks like the PF IR receiver will be very useful for train control and other continuous duty applications. But the only remote available is for intermittent operation. So the only LEGO option to running in PWM/continuous duty is to use a (...) (17 years ago, 31-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Yes, I really like those wheels, also. (...) So, they are friction pins at least. And it gives the drive some slip, to help it turn better. Very nice Steve (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic)

The normal bricks only go one stud deep (at some places less), what's inside is basically a pure (...) (17 years ago, 12-Feb-08, to lugnet.town, lugnet.technic, FTX)
