hi,
thought I would say hi since I am reading a lot of the posts.
bought me a basic stamp homework board here at the local radio
shack. the cd installed the software perfectly and I was building
projects right away.
I am finishing up the CNC machining program at LWTC in Kirkland Wash
and helped out some robot builders produce some machined parts for
extra credit. so.... I thought i would learn a little about what
they are up to. [noparse]:)[/noparse] Its a fun hobby for people who like building
things.
I dont know all that much about electronics. played arounda lot with
those radioshack electronic experimentor kits as a kid and probably
forgot more then I know.
For a first real project I was think of programming the stamp to run
rear car blinkers like on a shelby mustang from the sixties where
they alternate sequentially or maybe a panic button horn that
alternates between the high and low tone horns on a car.
It would be quite easy to hook the stamp up to one of my rc cars and
have it put around. chapter 4 in the book is pretty in depth on
servos and I already trashed mine that came with kit. ruined some
gear teeth. [noparse]:([/noparse]
I am assuming the direction to go with having the stamp control a car
horn would be to have it trigger the horn relaybut....e the stamp
cant handle that many amps. also...then it would need a common
ground with the relay already in the car which is too high powerred...
also.???? I could use transistors to trigger the relays???? I have
no idea which one or how to pick them. same thing with sequential
tailights the light bulbs require more power then the stamp can
handle I am assuming.
anyhow greetings and salutations.

AQZ102 relays from ALLIED Electronics www.alliedelec.com. They'll
handle 1350ma at 60v. I used a 1k resistor off the stamp pin. They
cost about $8 and you need to order $25 or more to avoid a handling
fee.

You might want to look at a solid-state relay. I bought some AROMAT
