Hi all,

I'm trying to control a polarity switch with a motor controlled by an RCX.
The position of the switch is monitored by a rotational sensor.  The problem
I am having is how far the switch moves on return to the middle 'off'
position, it tends to move way too far.  I've tried slowing down how fast
the switch moves by various gear/pully combinitions with little success.

Has any done any work on this?  Are there any istruction posted on motor
control of the polarity switch?

I belive there should be a fair amount of info on this if you search the
robotics group. It has been used to multiplex the out ports of the RCX so that
one motor can drive up to four (IIRC) swicthes.

Best regards,
