    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 (...) (23 years ago, 19-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
   
        Re: RCX motor pulsing —Bernardo Dal Seno
   (...) The good news is that the RCX outputs are pulse-width modulated. bye Bernardo New e-mail: dibbe@freestation.it (23 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 (...) (23 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 (...) (23 years ago, 22-May-01, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.robotics)
