  Digital outputs.
 
How would I go about making the digital outputs capable of controlling a higher current than the 5 ma that is standard? Can a switching transistor be controlled by them? Or do I need some sort of IC to do the job? Particularly I would like to be (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  CCD on the handyboard ??
 
Maybe someone already discussed this argument.... I'd like to connect a CCD to the handyboard, but how ?? What comes out from a CCD ? How to interface the CCD's output signal ? Anyone can help me ? Stefano (25 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Re: Digital outputs.
 
You can use solid state relays with 5 VDC inputs and DC outputs to control large loads. The inputs require very little current. It is less expensive to build transistor switches, which will do the same thing, but obviously much simpler to use (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
