Hi gurus, many thanks for your suggestions about driving a motor from PIC's pin. Now I have another question about electric motors and PIC. Now that I can drive a motor by the PIC, I want to watch the status of the motor (is running? or the Is it powered?) by another PIC: in short, I want a kind of telemetry control about the motors. I was thinking to connect a transistor on the line that power the motor and to put the output straight to the PIC, but I do not know if this solution is correct and which transistor can I use. Thanks, Max. -- ____ ____ ____ _ _ / ___)| __ \/ ___)/ /| | Massimo Gaggero (max@crs4.it) | (___ | /\___ \\__ | Net & System Management \____)|_|\_\(____/ |_| Phone: +39 070 9250 329 -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
