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 have, and if and
what diode would be needed to connect the coil (of the relay) to the RCX's
9V motor output.
Since I'm not an electronics expert, I'd like a circuit drawing and some
illustration to go with the instructions.
Thanks again!
Remko

| (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)

| 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)
