| Along similar lines, anyone know of a nice way to regulate 9.6V down to 6 or so, at 2 or 3 amps peak? I'm looking for something that's efficient, and won't try to burn itself out during normal use. Possibly something like the LM317 is available in (...) (29 years ago, 13-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| I think what you need is only a simple VR( voltage regulator) It kinda resembles a transitor in appearance). I'm curious to know whether this is all you need. I'm not an EE either so I wonder if you need heat sinks or capacitors or something. ? (...) (29 years ago, 15-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| An LM317T is probably what you want. It will provide 1A continous or 1.5A with heat sink. Put a large Cap on the output to take care of peak surge requited by the motors when turned on. These temperary heavy current needs will not hurt the (...) (29 years ago, 19-Apr-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
