| (...) A bridge may be the only solution, but you will loose 1.2v across the diodes generally. Although it needs work (and is incomplete) I wrote a tutorial on interfacing a simple LED with an RCX, which shows ways using a bridge, or just simply (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Yes, though the things to think about are the voltage drop across the diodes or other devices and the amount of power required. If only low power devices were being driven, such as the IR chip on its own, a simple bridge rectifier made from (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jul-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
