Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to use a electromagnetic device with the RCX
and NXT. I tried with this one from a disk drive, and it worked quite well, but
a few seconds after it start, the RCX shows the "low battery" icon. (The
batteries are OK, and when i checked later, it reports normal 8.0 Mv)
1. May I use some kind of resistor in the wires?
2. Why RCX reports low battery? It seems like motors on heavy load...
3. Is possbile to minimiz/avid this? How this impact in the electromagnetic
performance?
4. If i must use a diferent/best electromagnetic device, what kind or
specification i must look for?
Thanks for any help!
This is the electromagentic device plugged in the RCX:

I do notice from your picture that you have a version 1.0 RCX equipped with an AC power input jack. Have you tried running (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, FTX)

| Yes, you can use an electromagnet with the RCX. Depends on what you want to do with it, but it should work. The device from a disk drive might be a 12 volt device, or 5. The RCX puts out around 8-9, so either way the device isn't drawing the correct (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
