Hello... I have created a system which can control "sword in the stone".
Entertainment buisness.
I managed to make the 1. edition work 100%.
Then i thought, "now im gonna redo the board and make it work again". Just to be sure it wasent luck. It turns out, it WAS luck. . . I cant make my nr. 2 edition work. And it should be "almost" the same.
Problem discription:
I needa turn on relays with transistors. The board works, without load (relays), but when i add the relays i can see that the voltage from transistor to relay is dropping from 5v to 2v.
The circuit is seperated into 2 boards. The control board, and the H-brigde (relay) board. I tried using the H-brigde from the 1. edition (succesful) system, but it wouldent work.....
So im down to its not being the H-brigde board which are bad, but the control board. It seems it wont deliver the amp for the relays, which makes it drop in voltage.
SO. There "should" only be 1 difference between the 2 control boards. I used a high watt (a cheaper old kind) resistors to the non working control board, while i used "normal" reistors for the working control board. . . .
Im thinking... Can these old fashion high watt resistors, somehow draw some power from the circuit? Which then ends up in not having enough power for the relays?
Hope you can help..... Best regards Mikethk
