Re: Driver station power
Yes. Great idea. Why did I not think of that? A solid state relay could support a higher current throughput, getting less toastier. Also, I have already figured out the voltage level conversion for the chips. A backwards zener diode, rated at 3.3 volts will regulate the voltage, bringing it down to roughly 3.3 volts.
