Mondo-Tronics Muscle wire and the BASIC Stamps
Archiver
Posts: 46,084
Hello from Gregg C Levine
Has anyone succeeded in working out the details behind using a BASIC
Stamp to drive an actuator based on the Muscle wire, available from
Mondo-Tronics, (who also sells BASIC Stamps)? I've got a project in
the works that will be using them, and I need advice on how to
construct the driver for the actuator. One of the things I do
remember, is that Muscle wire presents itself, as a direct short to
the circuitry surrounding it, so it needs a proper driver arrangement
to protect the system from that.
