  maximum current of outputs
 
Hi hardware-specialists, does anyone know the maximum continuous current that a RCX motor output can drive? (I want to connect a light.) Thanks a lot. Bernd (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) 9.3x volts when a Train Power supply is used. Down to as little as 6.5 volts when batteries are getting pretty low. Dean -- -Dean Husby LUGNET Member #320 Co-Founding Member: VLC (23 years ago, 7-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

In my layout, I used Train power supply for RCX to drive train, the max voltage is 9.7v. Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) What part of the world do you live in? I'm in North America. I've checked the power levels very carefully to make sure my custom stuff would still work. If it's different with 220 volt stuff.

I am living in Tokyo, Japan now, here is 110v and same as NA. BTW, I will live in Boston from next month. Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
 
  Re: maximum current of outputs
 
(...) That's all nice and well, but Bernd asked about current. I think it's on the order of several hundred mA, but I don't have exact figures. Unfortunately there is no (more?) data sheet for the 10402 motor controller used in the RCX at (URL) (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) the batteries/ power supply's max is. Dean -- Dean Husby LUGNET Member #320 TFM's LEGO Workshop (www.akasa.bc.ca/tfm) The Vancouver LEGO Club (www.akasa.bc.ca/vlc/) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
