    Re: Motor control —Jason J. Railton
   (...) You can quite happily power the motor from the RCX without modification - just don't supply any other power to the track. This will also electrify the track, and power any other motors on it too though. If you break the connections to the (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) Just some extra info, how to read this plan: there are 10 lines, which are representing your track oval under 10 certain circumstances with more or less locos on it. (Each "besetzt" means, there is a loco in this block). The oval consists out (...) (24 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.trains)

        RCX motor pulsing —Steven Barile
   Since you guys are talking about this I have a question. I've asked it before and there was no responce. Here it goes: I want to use the RCX to control a single train thru the rails by providing "pulsed" voltage to have fine control over the trains (...)

        Re: RCX motor pulsing —Stef Mientki
      What kind of train you to use (Lego, Trix, other) ? Although I've no experience, I have the feeling that only a Lego train could be controlled, as far as I know Trix uses AC current and for the other brands I've the feeling all specs are too low. (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: RCX motor pulsing —Sonnich Jensen
     I don't use the RCX but I do know know to control a motor. I would picup the power and "pulse" the motor will e.g. 400 Hz, but pulse-wide-modulated. The idea is that the motor gets full power but not all the time meaning thar it has full strenght (...) (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)

     (...) The good news is that the RCX outputs are pulse-width modulated. bye Bernardo New e-mail: dibbe@freestation.it (24 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: RCX motor pulsing —Steven Barile
     I have controlled LEGO trains via the RCX many times. The question is how to control the speed of the train under a finer ganularity then just the native power levels. snip ...this comment has promise! Can you vary the width of the pulse? <The good (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
    
         Re: RCX motor pulsing —Bernardo Dal Seno
     (...) Yes. When you set the power for an output port actually you select the duty cycle of a square wave. The granularity depends on firwmare. With standard firmware you can select between 7 power levels; legOS has 255 levels. bye Bernardo New (...) (24 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
