Hi Everyone,
I want to use a photoelectric sensor with my handy-board. The sensor require a
10 V supply voltage, while the digital inputs of the HB only supply 5 V. Can I
simply use one of the motor outputs to supply the sensor, and plug the signal
and ground wires of the sensor in a digital input?
Also, I would like to know if there is a program readily available to send and
receive data (integers more specifically) from a PC to the handy board, and if
yes, I would like to know where I can get it.
Thanks,
Frank Payen

| hi. you can certainly tap the 9.6v batt output to power the sensor (use J13), but make *sure* that the sensor does not put out more than 5v, or you'll blow your analog inputs. if you're not sure, put a 1K resistor in series with the sensor's output (...)
