Use the output (A, B, or C) to turn on the relay (you can pick those up at Radio Shack or wherever). The relay could be used to switch on a separate power source to power whatever device at whatever power/voltage you deem necessary. -Rob "Da Byte" (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Thank You, Rob, for your quick response. Judging from the two comments I've received, I should have elaborated a bit. I wanted to use a relay to switch the other circuit, but the it wasn't exactly clear to me what specifications the relay should (...) (22 years ago, 23-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I was wondering: isn't it feasable to use a transistor in stead of a relay? B: What kind do I use? (And how will I regognize it?) Thanks again! Remko (22 years ago, 29-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(URL) makes the optical mice components and has shipped over 12 million. The link above has some explanation of how they work. It's an interesting idea to see if these could be adapted for robotics. Bruce (22 years ago, 29-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It all depends on what you want to switch, maybe you should explain your prject a bit more. Jürgen (22 years ago, 30-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) My original idea is to switch a 12 - 14 V, 250 mA (Conrad) infrared beamer using my RCX's motor output. But it would be nice to be able to build a kind of universal switch for controling other devices. Thanks in advance! Remko (22 years ago, 4-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
