I have a cute little tracked robot base i want to run from a handyboard,
but the problem is that it has 3V motors. The handyboard is set up to
power 9v, right? The way i see it, i can either just put a resistor in
series with the motor to drop the voltage reaching the motor, but that
will eat up valuable battery power, or i can try to regulate the voltage
coming out of the motor driver chips. Is there an easy way to drop this
voltage?
Thanks
Mike

| If you try to regualte the voltage to 3V You will still loose the extra power as in using a resistor. You lose it in the form of heat to be specific. Using a regulator will give you the 3V you need at continuous output. I'm not sure how voltage (...) (27 years ago, 7-Aug-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
