I have been intesrted in this topic as well. Thanks for doing the schematic
work. I was thinking about about mounting a linear variable resistor aka
Thumbwheel Trim Pot (see: http://www.meci.com/images/450-0233.GIF) on the
PCB board opposite the power connector. (see:
http://www.hot.ee/sonnich/lego/ 1st picture). Then drilling a small hole in
the plastic case (again opposite the power connector hole) so that a small
screw driver and be used to adjust the Vmax output.

| Just remember to add a resistor in serie with the variable resistor, so the total value never reaches 0. Something like 4k7 + 22k variable resistor... ? Steve Barile <steve.e.barile@intel.com> wrote in message news:GzvKFx.8Fo@lugnet.com... (...) (...) (22 years ago, 27-Jul-02, to lugnet.trains)
