| No, don't use a transistor! The HB's IR out already has one. But the parallel-with-a-sepa...r-for-each method is correct. -Fred In your message you said: (...) (27 years ago, 5-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Run them in parallel, use a transistor. Like so: +5v | +---+---+---+---+---+ | | | | | | \ \ \ \ \ \ / R / R / R / R / R / R \ 1 \ 2 \ 3 \ 4 \ 5 \ 6 / / / / / / -- -- -- -- -- -- \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ -- -- -- -- -- -- HB + | | | | | | \ | | | | | | / (...)

|
| [David.J.Dostal@lawrence.edu] spake unto the ether: (...) I just ordered some from Mouser, the smaller of the two physical sizes they have, 3K to 100K I believe are the light/dark resistances. These give analog(PORT) values of about 10 in ordinary (...) (27 years ago, 5-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | CdS cells
|
| hi everyone, I am looking to purchase a batch of CdS photo cells but I think that I need more information before I order. The catalogs (Digi-Key, Mouser, etc.) list several different photocells (different resistances, power dissipation, etc.) and I (...) (27 years ago, 5-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
| | | | | 3V motors
|
| Mike, I had a similar problem and the solution is not to put a resistor in series with the motors. With the varying amount of current a motor draws, the voltage drop across the resistor will vary as well and the motors will not see a consistent 3V. (...)
