(...) Either single pin modes allow to set each output to 1 (9V) or 0 (0V). (...) See the drive datasheet: (URL) can reach 1A peak, continuous value is lower (500-600mA) especially if both outputs are heavily loaded at the same time.

I loaded the Firmware, and the Program into a 1.0 RCX, and the brick worked flawlessly! On my 1.0 brick, I was (...)

(...) The toggle bit is checked in Single output mode (the documentation is not quite right for this mode) and in both single pin modes. each message is sent 5 times you need to toggle the toggle bit in every message sent. 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 etc. bob (17 years ago, 25-Jan-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

If not, hopefully the new RC train system will be compatible. It also (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-08, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

Now you can use your RCX to control LEGO Power Functions. That's right the RCX can act as a PF remote control but it can do something that the PF remote can't do yet. The RCX can do PWM with your PF reciever moduals. You do not need to install (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-08, to lugnet.general, lugnet.technic, lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.announce, FTX) !
