Hi,

this is my second attempt for getting information about the motor outputs. Some
replies have been made for my first question but my question was not
understood correctly. So, I will describe what I need and ask more precisely.

Instead of a motor, I want to connect a 9V light to a RCX motor output.
That light should be very bright, i.e. the electric current will be high.
The question is:
How much current in mA (milli Amps) is allowed for a motor output???

I gues it is something about 100 - 200 mA but I don't want to destroy the
output circuits. I have read the value anywhere but cannot find the proper link
anymore.

Anyone out there who is familiar with this electrical stuff?

Thanks a lot.
Bernd Frassek

(...) No problem, they protect themselves against overcurrent. The best links I could find are (URL) Jürgen Stuber <stuber@loria.fr> (URL) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)
