configuration. This is due to the fact that the motors are usually
intended for bi-directional use. If you are only using them in one
direction, a single transitor will suffice.

| You can run about 2 motors off of one output (as the RCX goes into thermal shutdown at 500ma and each motor will (on average) draw 200ma at a stall). Sorry I can't help you with the device part, but (don't let this start flames) can't you just hook (...) (24 years ago, 9-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
