Hi Sebastian, (...) I don't know the schematics of that sensor interface, but I think it's basically a bad idea to drive a device that needs 30 to 50 mA from a powersource that can only output about 10 mA. I've experienced similar effects while (...) (21 years ago, 2-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
