 | | Using motor as sensor
|
| This probably came up before, but it may not. The (new type) 9V motor can be connected to a sensor input. If it's set as a light sensor, it will power the motor (low power, but usable). When the motor is stalled, its resistance will raise the sensor (...) (25 years ago, 19-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Hmm, that probably means that the clamping diode to +5 or GND is missing, and I'll bet its the one to ground. It also implies that the input resistor to the A/D circuit is between the clamping diode and the A/D input. I could be totally wrong (...) (25 years ago, 19-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
