Read the full replyHi,
We want to control the movement of thick Flexinol wires with our Parralax BASIC Stamp2 Homework Board.We learned that the Homework Board can provide upto about 37mA @ 5V.The wire that we are using requires about 1750mA to a\be activated. It works fine even with 1.5V batteries.
We want to know how to supply/control more current with I/O pin.
Thank you in advance.
