The servo motors have built in rotation sensors, so you can turn them into controllers by using the rotation sensor to detect to what extent you've rotated it. So wallah! Switch. :P

[Davidgruntslayer]

That's actually a really good suspension design. How much can that thing lift?

[Dragon8Wing]

Hey buddy, how'd you use the motor as a switch like that?

[mynameisjoedavis]

can you use the motor as a controller?

[iamrecognized]

Try connecting two motors with a cable and turning one. It puts out a charge. I assume he just put it into a sensor port.

[RcMonsterTruck]

i havent actually got a mindstorms set but i'm planning to get one.i've red so much lego stuff that i'm shure that the motors have built in servos and rotation sensors

[bloodtracer100]

yes just use the rotation sensor as an input much like a button on a remote controller. Btw that is a really nice crane!

[Tech4U247]

@mynameisjoedavis maybe

[trainz222]

@mynameisjoedavis yes, acctually when you get the kit lego provides a built in test program that allows you to control the pitch of a sound udsing the moter as a dial

[cyber8000]
