I want to be able to run 2 or 3 IR xmitters from the single output on the
HB with no additional hardware.

Is there any problem with hooking two or 3 IR transmitters to the ground
of the IR output and running the +5v from digital outputs.  Then switch
thru each one using the digital output. Only having one active at any
given moment.

You mean IR "emitters"? (IR LED) If i understand you correctly, you wish to source current with the digital outputs. The digouts are from the HC11. There can't source enough current to light IR LED's. ---...--- ericson mar Master of Engineering (...) (27 years ago, 6-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
