 | | Sensor supply voltage & PC communication —François Payen
| | | | 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 (...) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| | | | | 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 (...)
