Axon
« on: July 07, 2008, 04:50:44 PM »
Hey all, well reading through the Axon documentation it says that ADC pins can handle a combined 1.5 A of current, but thats not the pin, thats the bus, correct?

it must be the bus

1.5 A each is a lot of current!!!!

I wish pins could do that, save me money on speed controllers....

I wish they'd invent the uc that plugs directly into AC, and works on 220AC. Unfortunately, it would be to big and its primary purpose would be melting polar caps :P

lol

theoretically you could  have 1.5A per pin,  if you have a strong enough power source and you have like one 1.5amp 5V volt switching regulator per pin. The power needed  and power lost to heat  would be tremendous .

Thanks for catching the typo. I just updated the datasheet:
http://www.societyofrobots.com/axon/axon_datasheet.shtml

It also has a new image for pinouts.
