Wiring a dancing hamster to the RC

And whether or not we are awarded in the course of the season, at its end our team will look back, and we’ll look at one another, and we will wonder how we were able to accomplish what we did. - John Wanninger [more]

Re: Wiring a dancing hamster to the RC

Well if you are going to do this to the robot for next season, you woudn't necessarily need to use a spike. You could use the SPST reley linked by Mercutio, and hook it to a digital IO pin on the controller, like so:

Code:

+5V-----|    |------    Hampster
        $  \ |
        $   \
IO pin--|    \--------   Hampster battery

Excuse the ASCII art, I'm too lazy to draw it up properly...
