Jerry, The layout looks pretty good to me. A few of the links don't work (e.g. to Ebot and Robot builders newsletter) which link to rssc.org. I guess you...
Hi guys/gals, Was there someone here that was interested in buying ( cheap ) 2708 eproms for a restoration project. I found a bunch in my Lab/garage/junkyard....
On my new robot I keep shorting out power switches so that whatever position it's in it's always on. I suspect arc-ing is destroying the switch, any...
Jeff, you need to use automotive type of switches - some are rated at 32volts DC The best ones are the pull-on/push-off types because you can put the switch in...
Hi Jeff. I run four of the 12V 7AH SLA batteries for a 48V main supply. My converters have a large inrush current. If I pull a wire and reconnect it, I get a...

To keep the current down to 5A (the rated current on the switch) you would need a resistor of about 5 ohms which would only use 0.8W during 0.4A operation and...
I agree with Walter. Automotive switches will handle a lot of current. I've been using Pep Boys toggle type automotive switches. (about $3 or so) I think...
