  Re: Custom sensor current drain - use two sensor ports?
 
Hi Justin, (...) No, the internal circuis are more or less the same. (...) I don't think you could break something. But of course using two input ports is not so great... (...) You might try the kind of trick I used for my GP2D12 sensor ((URL) store (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-05, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
