Just today I got one of these from an eBay auction, including the original cable in a sealed plastic bag. The ROBOLAB software wasn't included, however, so I imagine that I'll need a driver of some kind to use it. Does anyone have a driver? (This (...)

Folks, The Austin chapter of the Texas Lego Users Group (TexLUG) is holding a robotic line following contest on June 11, 2006. In this line following contest, robots attempt to complete a specified race course by following a black line on a white (...)

(...) Thanks Dustin, those will help. I am inclined to agree with Philippe Hurbaine on the regulator. It is also obvious that it can take AC from the full wave rectifier near the power port. In answer to Davids question about the 4v connector (using (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) The BDX34 transistor + toroidal inductor above + LM339 comparator probably compose a switching regulator efficiently converting 13V input power to 4.5V for the outputs. Philo (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I've taken some more detailed pictures of the circuit and the reverse side. (URL) through the manual, connections 6 and 7 are for sensors and connections 0-5 are for output (4V as labled on the cover), but you only can turn the circuit on or off. (...)

(...) Hi Dustin, I am an EE. Before I give you some advice, I need a bit more information about 9750 (I have never seen one in person): - I see a power jack: I assume this powers the electronic circuit, not the loads, right? What voltage is applied (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) Wow - I remember those, we used them at school. Now why is it that Peeron do not have an entry for it under 9750? Those are also some big old capacitors, I would be inclined to check out their ESR (a rating of their health if you like) before (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I'd like to try to convert the output of the voltage on a 9750 from 4V to 12V (to control 12V trains :). I've taken a photo of the internal circuit board - my rudimentary EE knowledge leads me to be believe I need to swap out the transistors that (...)

Does anyone have a copy of or know of a good link to download the LEGO Engineer software - all the links that point to NASA sites don't seem to be valid anymore. Dustin (20 years ago, 7-Apr-06, to lugnet.robotics)
