Maybe you can put a series of diodes in series and in parallel but the
other direction to reduce the voltage.

H-bridge     +-  +-  +-  +-    motor   H-bridge
             -+  -+  -+  -+


Good luck,

hi everyone,

i need some help on controling the output voltage of the dc motor ports. the
output voltage is 9.6V and i like to know if there is any way to clamp down
the voltage to 5V or lesser. i try using a enternal resistor but the output
signal is very unstable. sometimes when i am controling only motor port 0,
the other motor port's LED will light up too. please help

Thanks

Michael

On my first robot, I just took a resistor in-line and used that. It got very hot, though, and didn't work evenly (some of them must have started to burn out before the others did....) (26 years ago, 22-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
