Re: Anybody let the magic smoke out?

I think we fried the Analog Inputs on a controler for GeroniMOE last year. We hooked up hall-effect transistors (magnet actived transitors) with pull up resistors to sense embedded magnets in drive train sprockets. Our hope was to get a good readout of wheel revolutions but we noticed that those transistors and the gyro stopped working. The rest of the controller still worked so we put it on the practice bot (Sitting Bull) which didnt need a gyro.
