After turning on the RCX and selecting program #1
 | Press the green 'run' button. |
| The program waits for you to press the grey 'input' button. |
| While you hold that button down, the lamp comes on and you hear
a F# quarter-note once per second. Each time the note sounds 100 revolutions are
added. |
| After you release the button there is a brief delay. Then
the watch turntable begins to rotate clockwise (no pun intended). |
| At approximately 360 degrees, or one revolution, it pauses, for
a second. Then it reverses and turns one revolution counterclockwise. |
| Each time it pauses, between revolutions, the digital readout on
the RCX shows how many revolutions remain to complete the sequence. |
| When the count reaches zero, the program stops. |
After turning on the RCX and selecting program #2, the same
sequence of events occurs, except that there is no alternation between clockwise and
counterclockwise. It only turns clockwise, pausing as before between revolutions.
Program #3 on the RCX is similar to #2 except that rotation is
only counterclockwise. The 'program' to follow shows Program #1 only; #2 and
#3 are similar.
