 | | Oops! Darn diode/fuse
|
|
So while trying to modify my brick to accept 9v from an AC adapter, I managed to blow the SMT diode/fuse. Anyone know the rating (or part #) of the fuse/diode so I can replace it? While I'm at it, anyone know what voltage/mA the RCX can take as (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I'd better submit my model (which is one 2x1 plate and nothing else) it scores 2 points...and may yet win if nobody succeeds in crushing a can and everyone needs more than an RIS set to attempt it! (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Doesn't a machine that does nothing score perfectly? If so, my entry is an RCX sitting next to three cans. It finishes the instant it starts. You have a formula time * height * bonus = score, with small being better. So a robot that does no crushing (...) (24 years ago, 13-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

The Mindstorms touch sensor isn't a switch, but a sensor. You need an RCX or MicroScout to read it's status. It is not suited for directly switching a load like a motor. It can only carry a very small current, and still has a lot of resistance when (...) (24 years ago, 12-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
