Remko,

Starting on page 144, I start the topic discussion on Electronic Output
Switching by describing a detail lab project of an Audible Tone Generator.
The core switching circuit consists of using a 7805 Voltage Regulator IC
driving a 2 transistor audio oscillator circuit. The 7805 IC was used as a
way of taking the output voltage (7-8VDC) of the RCX and stepping it down to
a regulated +5VDC. This low voltage rail powers the audio oscillator using
low current draw and power dissipation from the RCX P-Brick's output. On
page 150, I discuss creating a Digital Control Unit Diagnostics Tool Lab
procedure. The driving element in this project is a Power MOSFET switching a
seven segment LED display. Again, the 7805 voltage regulator IC is used as a
voltage isolator/step down converter for the Diagnostics Tool Lab project.
Check it out in the LEGO Mindstorms Interfacing book. Go buy the book and
you'll be glad that you did.:)

Wow, I'd sure like to see if I could use it :)
Anyway, if I have your purchased your book, would you help me taylor that
knowledge to my needs?

Thank you

Remko
