Hi
Ive elected to use 2 relays to run a motor. Im going to put one motor on
with the power coming in 'straight' and the other one in reverse of the
first one:
[RELAY 1] [RELAY 2]
++ -- -- ++ (power is inverted)
|--------| |-----------|
| \_______ |
DIODE \ DIODE
+-----------------+ \ |
| \ |
HB motr port 1: X X-------+
Will this method work effectively by allowing only 1 relay to work at once?
One other question: What could I use in place of a diode, since the motor
ports operate at a higher voltage and amperage than most diodes are. Or how
ca I effectively reduce the power output of the HB?
Thanks alot!
phil
